Discover the difference between reptiles and amphibians and what makes these animals so special at your local library! Debunk myths and learn more about the natural world with interactive activities.
This Science Surprises session is 45-minute long and perfect for elementary-aged learners. These sessions do not require pre-registration but do have limited capacity.
Make a Thermometer
Do you like reptiles and amphibians? Ever wonder why turtles or alligators like to lay around in the sun? We’ll be learning how these cold-blooded animals regulate their temperatures by making our own thermometers!
We begin each session with an interactive demonstration of a scientific concept, followed by hands-on activities that can be taken home.
This program is supported by the Children’s Trust of Alachua County.
Florida Museum on the Go!
Over the next year, we’ll be bringing the Florida Museum to branches across the Alachua County Library District as well as many other places out on our community. You never know where the museum will be popping up next. Check our calendar or subscribe to our emails to keep up to date.
The Florida Museum may photograph or video visitors for educational and promotional purposes. Attendance to a Florida Museum event constitutes the attendee’s consent regarding the possibility of appearing in Museum marketing materials.
