Science Fair Fridays: Maine Quarries Up Close
Science Fair Fridays
Fridays, July 10 – August 21, 2026 · 11 am–1 pm · Free
Maine Mineral & Gem Museum, Bethel, Maine
The Maine Mineral & Gem Museum invites families to Science Fair Fridays, a free, six-week summer series of hands-on, drop-in science activities for kids. Each Friday explores a different earth-science theme — from modeling the rock cycle to growing real crystals, led by museum education intern Eli Budet. Drop in anytime between 11 am and 1 pm; no registration or fee required. (No session August 7.)
This week: Maine Quarries Up Close. Learn all about quarries this week! What they are used for and what might be found in them. You will even have the chance to make your own model of a quarry!
