Fun Science Friday: Dry Ice Comets. Explore the science behind comets! These cosmic snowballs contain frozen gasses, rocks, and dust left over from the formation of our solar system. As they orbit the sun, they leave behind trails of debris that can lead to the meteor showers we see here on Earth!

Clark Creates: On the Road, City Library Marmalade Branch. Kids, tweens, and families can combine science and art to build an edible space rover! Learn about different constraints in the space program as you design and build an edible rover. Humanity has sent out a number of rovers, robots, and probes to various planets, moons, and beyond. Each rover is the product of years (sometimes decades) of work and careful planning. Now it's your turn to be in charge!
