WEEKEND: Children set to explore science at Sequim Library on Saturday

SEQUIM — Second Saturday Science at the Sequim Library will continue with an exploration of chromatography at 10 a.m. Saturday.

During Saturday’s session, children will solve a mystery and create a work of art with pens, rubbing alcohol and eye droppers.

All classes in the series at the library at 630 N. Sequim Ave. are free.

Attendance is limited to 20 participants, so preregistration is required.

Led by former chemist and science educator Anne Olson, the Second Saturday Science series — which is recommended for children age 7 to 12 — offers hands-on opportunities for children to explore scientific concepts.

All materials will be provided.

“Density” will be the topic of the March 12 session.

Why airplanes fly and boats float will be explored, with ample opportunities provided for hands-on practice and discovery.

To register, visit the Sequim Library events calendar at www.nols.org, call the library at 360-683-1161 or send an email to youth@nols.org.
