SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION:This Discovery Design Time turns guests into tool testers in Tool Technology\, a Science of Everyday Things-themed session exploring the tools humans have used for thousands of years to build\, carve\, and create. Technology isn’t just phones and computers — it’s any invention designed to solve a problem or make a task easier\, and today that means carving tools! \nGuests will experiment with flower foam — a lightweight material florists use that’s also perfect for carving — using real tools like palette knives\, loop tools\, and scrapers. Each tool leaves its own mark: smooth surfaces\, removed pieces\, or textured cuts. There’s no “correct” sculpture to make; guests are free to create patterns\, abstract shapes\, or simply explore how each tool interacts with the foam. \nAlong the way\, guests will build new vocabulary like carve\, gouge\, chisel\, and the concept of subtractive vs. additive design\, while strengthening fine motor skills through hands-on experimentation. \nDiscovery Design Time is a recurring monthly program at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: September 10\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: Science of Everyday Things\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN

SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION: Get hands-on with botany in Greenhouse Sciences\, a Science of Everyday Things-themed session all about what plants need to grow — and how gardeners give them a helping hand. Guests will learn how greenhouses use clear panel walls to let in sunlight while trapping warmth\, working much like Earth’s own atmosphere does to keep our planet livable. \nGuests will design and build their own mini greenhouse from a box\, popsicle sticks\, and plastic wrap\, creating a removable frame to act as the roof. Inside\, they’ll plant chia seeds — a food many guests may already know from salads and smoothies — and watch as sunlight and warmth work together to help them sprout. \nAlong the way\, guests will build new vocabulary like gardening\, structure\, greenhouse\, and germination\, while exploring biology and botany through hands-on design. \nDiscovery Design Time is a recurring monthly program at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: September 17\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: Science of Everyday Things\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN

SUMMARY:Discovery Design Time
DESCRIPTION:This week’s Discovery Design Time gets curious about liquid in Capillary Action\, a Science of Everyday Things-themed session exploring why water doesn’t always go where gravity says it should. Liquid molecules love to cling to things with tiny spaces to move through — a phenomenon called capillary action — and guests will see it in action before creating their own fall-inspired artwork. \nGuests will outline leaf shapes using glue and salt\, mimicking the tiny spaces that let water travel and cling. Then\, using liquid watercolor\, they’ll watch capillary action pull color along their lines\, filling in their leaves with vibrant\, natural-looking blends. \nAlong the way\, guests will build new vocabulary like capillary action\, matter\, and space\, while exploring diffusion and the science behind everyday liquids. \nDiscovery Design Time is a weekly program held every Thursday at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — each session features a new theme and activity\, so guests can join again and again for a fresh hands-on art experience. \n📅 Date: September 24\, 2026\n🎨 Theme: Science of Everyday Things\n📍 Discovery Center at Murfree Spring\, Murfreesboro\, TN
