CRDL Mad Science "Owls From the Inside Out"

The response to our CRDL Mad Science program series has been outstanding. Watching the kids faces as they experiment with cow eyeballs, slime, even water really reminds us of why we do what we do. Our upcoming program is no exception.

On Wednesday November 19th we're teaming up again with the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum to present "Owls from the Inside Out". Kids in grades 3-6 will get up close as an avian expert uses live owls to show us the characteristics that help owls adapt to a predatory way of life. We'll dissect owl pellets to investigate the diet of a barn owl, learn about food chains and the role of avian predators in an ecosystem and gain an introduction to skeletal anatomy and prey identification.

CRDL Mad Science "Owls from the Inside Out" starts at 4:15pm on Wednesday the 19th in the CRDL Community Rooms at Veterans Memorial Library in Mt. Pleasant. The program is free and is designed for children in grades 3-6. Space is limited, therefore, pre-registration is required. Register at the Veterans Memorial Library Children's Desk or call 989.773.3242 ext 13.

CRDL Mad Science "Owls from the Inside Out" is a distance learning program offered by the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum in which we use videoconferencing technology to share science demonstrations and activities with children, engaging them in an active, hands-on experience.

CRDL Mad Science "Owls from the Inside Out" is made possible by a grant from the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation.
