Elizabeth City, NC — Children are invited to learn about sound and how it travels at Port Discover’s Toddler Time, "Can You Hear Me?", Thursday, September 17 at 10 a.m. Using their sense of hearing, the young scientists will be challenged to identify some unknown sounds. Every child will also make their own sound phones to take home.

Toddler Time is a science program just for preschoolers, ages 3 – 5. Cost for the program is $5 per family and reservations are required. Parents or guardians must accompany the child.
