Just as the temps dip and decline, the CU Museum of Natural History will host a series of family days focused on snow, ice, and climate as part of “Cold Facts: Snow and Ice Family Day.” The programs will be held every Saturday in January. On Jan. 7, 14, and 21 from 1-4 p.m., the museum will offer hands-on art and science activities that bring the research of CU-Boulder scientists to life. All events are free and open to the public.
“Join us at the museum as we ring in the New Year with a flurry of family activities,” said Cathy Regan, educational coordinator for the CU Museum of Natural History. “This January, we will be investigating the science of snow, from falling flakes to dangerous avalanches. Explore how climate change is affecting snow through hands-on activities. Ski, sled, or skate on in.”
As a conclusion to the month-long series, the museum will feature Jeff Kagan and Paige Doughty, Colorado children’s musicians. On Jan. 28 from 1-4 p.m, Kagan and Doughty will perform a free concert of environmental songs and skits with original science-based music designed for kids. All programs are best suited for families with children age 5-12, but the events should have plenty to offer guests regardless of age.
