Wednesday Workshops for Kids: Spooky Science

Wednesday Workshops for Kids: Spooky Science
Wednesday, October 29
4 – 6pm
Ages 5 – 12
$25 per child
Location: The Education Center

In this workshop, participants will dive into the science of pumpkins, explore real owl pellets and animal bones, and create festive fall nature crafts! Through hands-on experiments and seasonal art projects, we’ll uncover the fascinating mysteries of autumn. In true Halloween style, we’ll dissect an owl pellet to discover tiny bones and learn all about what these nocturnal hunters eat. It’s the perfect blend of spooky, science, and seasonal fun!

*What’s an owl pellet? An owl pellet is a small, oval object that an owl regurgitates after swallowing its prey. It is made up of the indigestible parts of the owl’s food like bones, fur, feathers, teeth, plant matter, or insect exoskeletons. What we find in an owl pellet can provide insight into what the owl has recently eaten and can be used to learn about the food chain, animal anatomy, and ecology!
