[Disney4me]

Orlando Science Center has a tripleheader offering coinciding with its $15 Day on Sunday. The museum will hold Great Outdoors Weekend, mark the first anniversary of its “Life” exhibit and play host to author Jessica Jane Robinson.

Robinson will be featured — along with her eco-superhero named Resilience — in special StoryTime segments at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. in KidsTown. The focus will be on sustainability, waste management, ocean conservation and climate literacy.

Robinson also will host a 16-minute documentary titled “Story of the Cup,” which tracks the life cycle of disposable cups, at 2 p.m. Afterward, she will have a book signing in the science center’s main lobby.

Great Outdoors Weekend activities will include a terrarium workshop, an outdoor scavenger hunt, a session on sustainable gardening and the Tiny Green Home Tour.

The “Life” exhibit, which opened last year, features three distinct environments with sloths, Tamarin monkeys, songbirds, squirrels, fish and other members of the natural world.
