Love is in the air this February, and so is chemistry. Curious minds are invited to explore the science behind attraction in nature during “EcoLab: My Chemical Romance,” a hands-on program hosted by the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, at Creek Bend Nature Center, 37W700 Dean St. in St. Charles. The fee is $5 per person.
During this engaging EcoLab session, participants will investigate the chemical reactions and processes animals use to attract mates. Through interactive experiments, families will observe exciting reactions and discover whether “love” in the natural world is heating up or cooling down.
This program is designed for ages seven and older. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
