LIBRARY TO HOST FAMILY SCIENCE PROGRAMS

The Tompkins County Public Library and the Cornell Center for Materials Research have announced the return of Families Learning Science Together.

Beginning Saturday, October 23, Families Learning Science Together will be held monthly. Each program is held from 1:00 to 2:00 PM in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room and provides an opportunity for families to create a lifelong love of learning through hands-on activities and experiments.

The first program will explore classification and participants will examine how scientists identify various objects and animals by dividing them into categories based on their differences. Families will investigate what characteristics can be used to identify items such as rocks, pasta and beans.

Families Learning Science Together programs are free and open to the public; however, space is limited. To register, contact Kevin at outreach@ccmr.cornell.edu or call (607) 254-8256.
