Library to Offer Family Science Program

Tompkins County Public Library and Cornell University’s Center for Materials Research will host “Families Learning Science Together: Learn about Polymers" February 14 from 1-2 p.m. in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.

Families will learn about polymers and their presence in common, regularly-used objects, as well as how scientists can change polymers to give them different physical properties.  Young scientists will learn how to make instant snow and their own silly putty.

Families Learning Science Together is a free program designed to help children develop an early love of science through hands-on participation.  These programs are offered at the library on the second Saturday of each month.

Families Learning Science Together programs are free and open to the public, but space is limited. To register, contact Nevjinder K. Singhota at nks5@cornell.edu or (607) 255-1486.
