Saturday Family Science July 25 Life Underground
Life Underground
Saturday, July 25, 10am
with Aemelia Thompson
Does a hole in the earth sound like a comfy place to live? To some animals it absolutely does! Living underground takes serious work but it is also a place many animals make their homes or live out their whole lives. Many of the animals that use the earth as their dwelling live right here in Massachusetts. Come dig in with us!
Join Aemelia Thompson at 10am on Saturday, June 6th at 10am for the live stream portion of Virtual Saturday Science.
