Hands-On Sun Science:
Lindsay Wildlife Museum
1931 First Ave, Walnut Creek
Sunday, October 27th, 2013
12:00pm – 4:00pm | $8.50What: As part of the ten-day Bay Area Science Festival, Lindsay Wildlife Museum presents ‘Hands-On Sun Science’ and more on Sunday, October 27. Explore the fascinating science of Earth’s own star—the Sun, through hands-on activities presented in partnership with Mount Diablo Astronomical Society. Have fun dancing the honey bee ‘waggle’—to music! Learn how bees dance to tell other bees where the nectar and pollen are, and how bees use the sun to give the best travel directions. Watch live honey bees do their own ‘waggle’ dance and take care of the hive in the museum’s Hive Alive! Exhibit (shown here) with its very active, real live bees complete with queen.
Lindsay Wildlife Museum is the first-ever Bay Area Science Festival partner in Contra Costa County.
This ambitious collaborative public education initiative brings together our leading academic, scientific, corporate, and non-profit institutions to showcase the region as an international leader in innovation. Based on similar festivals throughout the world, the 50+ festival events are expected to attract over 50,000 active participants, many of whom traditionally do not have access to quality scientific resources.
Where: Lindsay Wildlife Museum, 1931 First Ave., Walnut Creek, adjacent to Larkey Park.
When: Sunday, October 27 from 12-4pm.
