Coastal Kids Science Series with 4-H: Arctic Animal Adaptations In-Person
Do you know how our polar friends stay warm on chilly days? On January 14 from 3:30 - 4:30pm, youth will get to experience the magic of Arctic animal adaptations through an interactive icy experiment. We'll get creative and discover how our blubbery friends protect themselves from the cold, and how some animals can waterproof themselves!
UMaine Cooperative Extension is your doorway to University of Maine expertise. For over 100 years, they've been putting university research to work in homes, businesses, farms, and communities — in every corner of Maine. Their educational efforts focus on the Maine Food System and Positive Youth Development through 4-H programs with a focus on the STEM disciplines. They are part of the nationwide Cooperative Extension System, which works through the land-grant universities in each U.S. state.
Coastal Kids Science Series with 4-H is a monthly program where youth can dive deep into the natural wonder of water. From learning about amazing marine animal adaptations, to exploring the roles of Maine's working waterfront - we've got something for everyone! This program is free and cosponsored by the library and the UMaine Cooperative Extension. For more information, contact Youth Services Librarian Claire at claire.malina@bhpl.net or call 374-5515.
