Recognize Women’s History Month by learning about a female STEM pioneer and creating your own mini version of her groundbreaking invention!

Learn about Jeanne Villepreaux-Power, a seamstress-turned-scientist who invented the aquarium in 1832, through a read-aloud of a picture book biography about her life entitled “The Girl Who Built an Ocean: An Artist, an Argonaut, and the True Story of the World’s First Aquarium” by Jess Keating.

Then, create a mini glass jar aquarium of your own to hold a real, live moss ball you can take home, scientifically observe, and think of Jeanne Villepreaux-Power’s strides whenever you see it.

This event is open to 3rd-6th graders.

为庆祝三月妇女历史月，今天的活动我们将了解一位女性STEM 先驱，并制作迷你水族箱以纪念她的突破性发明。
首先我们将阅读Jess Keating所著的传记绘本《建造海洋的女孩： 世界上第一个水族馆的真实故事》。该书讲述了Jeanne Villepreaux-Power 的生平故事，她从一位女裁缝转型为科学家，于 1832 年发明了水族馆。
之后的时间我们将制作一个属于您自己的迷你玻璃罐水族箱，里面装进真正的活苔藓球，您可以带回家进行科学观察，学习珍妮·维勒普罗-鲍尔 (Jeanne Villepreaux-Power) 的科学精神。
该活动面向三至六年级学生。
