Our Greatest Need
Every child deserves the opportunity to discover the wonder of science. Your gift to WonderLab’s Greatest Need ensure that kids of all ages will have the chance to learn that science is fun, surprising, exciting, and also part of everything around us.
Together we can continue to build the curious and creative problem solvers who will shape a brighter future for themselves and our world.
Help us meet our goal!
WonderLab Museum is excited to BLAST OFF into the next 25 years of inspiring life-long learning and sharing hands-on science with children and families in the Bloomington area and beyond. Thank you to all our donors over the last quarter-century for making this milestone possible.
There are some exciting changes happening this year! WonderLab will install a new door that leads directly to the WonderGarden from the Museum building, utilizing the Garden as a three-season exhibit and environmental experience space. A new HVAC system will improve WonderLab’s environmental sustainability, and a generous grant will expand access to hands-on science for rural communities through WonderLab’s outreach program. We are so excited to begin this next chapter. Your gift today will launch WonderLab into the next 25 years!

You’ll Need: Scissors, a Straw, and either Tape or Glue
Directions:
- Cut out all the pieces on the solid lines.
- Tightly wrap the vertical rectangle around a straw. Tape the newly formed cylinder and remove it from the straw.
- Cut along the solid line to the middle of the circle and stop. Curl one side under the other so it becomes a cone and tape to the top of the paper rocket.
- Fold along dotted lines of the triangles and tape to the lower part of the paper rocket.
- BLAST OFF! Slip the straw back into the rocket’s opening, and sharply blow through the straw.
