M.E.S.S. (Museum Explorations through Science and Stories)  M.E.S.S. is a monthly science-and-story based program offered free of charge to area daycare and preschool facilities by the UNI Museums. Free books for each classroom are provided monthly by Child Care Resource and Referral. Children explore a science topic, add five words to their vocabularies, listen to books and stories, complete a project, and explore the Museum during their visit. New this year are activity boxes ("M.E.S.S. Kits"). Also available free of charge to the centers, they are designed to help teachers expand what was taught at the Museum, once back at in their classrooms.
