Monster Storms, Climate Change & Energy Conservation: Hands-on Family Science Day at BOCES
Children and their families can "experience" lightning, wind storms, and tornados together at Family Science Day at Putnam/Northern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) in Yorktown, on Saturday February 9 from 10 am to 3pm.
The day of hands-on science exploration, which includes a presentation by local meteorologist Jim Witt about storm formation, forecasting, and storm warnings, will allow children to create a tornado in a tornado machine, take a class about animals as meteorologists, and learn about actions people need to take to avert climate-change disasters, among many other topics they can explore.
Sponsored by P/NW BOCES Center for Environmental Education, Family Science Day is geared toward children in grades three through eight and their families. Admission is $4 for adults, $3 for children, and reservations are not necessary. For more information, call Patti at 248-2339; for recorded directions, call 245-2700 ext. 575.
