The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Rend Lake invites you to attend this week’s Environmental Science Series program to be held in the Rend Lake Project Office/ Visitor Center on Saturday August 17th at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The program entitled, “Wow! Science Show” will be presented by The Science Center of Southern Illinois. Join us and be prepared to be “Wowed” by activities that appear to be magic – but are really basic science! Feel the force of the air cannon; be amazed by an egg; and see The Science Center of Southern Illinois’ famous hovercraft in action in the Visitor Center!
“Wow! Science Show” is another program in the continuing, summer-long Environmental Science Series. These programs are held each Saturday from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, are presented free of charge, and are suitable for all ages.
Also, mark your calendar for the August 24th program “Journey South – A Monarch’s Story.” This program will feature Corps of Engineers Park Ranger Kim Hammel who will describe the amazing life cycle of the monarch butterfly – from egg to beautiful adult.
