ethical interaction, and microscopy with Sasha S. Sikaffy.
About this Event
This study by In the Lab with Sasha S. Sikaffy invites children 3+ and their adults to examine living native caterpillars through guided observation and ethical interaction.
A short microscopy component allows for close examination of eggs and chrysalises, revealing biological details ordinarily invisible to the naked eye. Microscopy specimens will be prepared in advance and provided for observation.
