Afterschool Animal Encounters: Super Skeletons

Do snakes have bones? Can a turtle crawl out of its shell? How far can frogs jump? On Wednesday, Apr. 6, answer these questions by looking at skeletons during Harvard Museums of Science & Culture's virtual program. Join human museum staffers Arielle and Javier as they lead a 45 minute session with live animals and specimens from the museum collections. This event will be fun for the whole family, so bring questions and a sense of wonder.

How do animals change as they grow? What do skeletons have to do with how an animal moves? How do animals today compare with their ancient ancestors? Get the answers to these questions and more. Each month HMSC will discuss a different theme while sharing specimens from the museum collections and interacting with some of the museum’s incredible live animals.
