INFINITY Bingo
Who doesn’t like Bingo? We all know that sense of accomplishment when you get to yell “BINGO!” Younger students can work as a team with their Chaperone and older students can complete INFINITY Bingo on their own.
In order to complete INFINITY Bingo, students will need to visit each part of the science center.

INFINITY Scavenger Hunts
Have your students search up, down and all around, carefully reading INFINITY exhibit details to complete INFINITY’s Scavenger Hunt(s).
Your students will have to pay close attention and use their science/space sleuthing skills to discover the answers. Are your students up for the challenge? INFINITY Scavenger Hunts are geared toward upper elementary and middle school aged students.
