Second Sundays at the American Philosophical Society

Wiggly Worms, February 14, 2010

Charles Darwin’s last book was all about worms. He was fascinated with these wiggly critters! Join teaching artist Shelley Hedlund of the Multicultural Youth eXchange, who will help you create your own worms out of painted paper.  And learn more about the creatures themselves and Darwin’s fascination with them inside the Dialogues with Darwin exhibition.

This Second Sunday is a collaboration between the APS Museum and MYX: Multicultural Youth eXchange. Second Sundays are family-friendly afternoons (for ages 5+) at the APS Museum, featuring activities and/or demonstrations inspired by the Dialogues with Darwin exhibition.
