SUMMARY:Art of Science: Squirrels and Air Dry Animal Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Science series is for adults who like to blend science and art. Each program will include hands-on experience with a citizen science project paired with an associated art project. Participants will take home their project\, supplies\, and any tools needed to complete the project. \nIn this program\, we will explore documenting squirrels for science and make animal sculptures out of air dry clay. Instructions for collecting and submitting data and the sculpting project will be provided during the program – no experience required! Your program fee covers the supplies needed to make several small\, unpainted animal sculptures. \nWe will meet by the tall brick Chimney Swift tower in the center of the parking lot. Prairie Ridge will be closed to visitors during the program. The gate to the road will open at 12:20pm and close at 12:35pm. \nCost: $22\, $20 Museum members\nRegister

SUMMARY:Live Animal Feeding: Lobster
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live feeding of the Maine lobster in the Arthropod Zoo and meet Living Collections staff. This clawed crustacean is formidable and feisty with a tough exoskeleton to help it survive. Many crustaceans incorporate minerals like lime into their exoskeleton\, which thickens and strengthens it. \nThis walk-up program is offered: \n\nTuesday and Saturday — 1:30pm\n\nLocation: Nature Exploration Center\, 4th floor\, Arthropod Zoo. \nNo registration required.
