‘Birds and Beasts’, MadScience, June 28th, 11:00 am.
– Join our friends at MadScience to see how you measure up to some of our favorite animals! Are your teeth as big as an alligator? Are you as tall as an ostrich? Are you as strong as an ant? Learn all about animals: even about the solid waste they produce – from owl pellets to deer poo! Experiment virtually alongside real scientists!
