Library to Offer Family Science Program


Tompkins County Public Library and Cornell University’s Center for Materials Research will host “Heredity,” Saturday, February 25 from 1-2 p.m. in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.
 
Families will learn how traits are inherited from parents and why this leads to genetic variations in offspring. They will demonstrate how this works by allowing participants to create their own alien from a set of genetically distinct alien parents and comparing their appearances. 

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, email ccmr_outreach@cornell.edu. Please include the name and age of all children in the email.
