What a year! Thank you for making it amazing!

It's been very exciting having the chickens at the Lab and interacting with them. We've learned a lot! One question we get very often is 'what happens with the chickens in the winter?' Excellent question!

​Normally, when you think of where chickens live, you don't automatically picture them in a cold and snowy climate. Fact is, when it comes to chickens, you have over 500 pure breeds and an almost endless combination of mixed breeds. The type of chicken and its adaptations determine where it can live and thrive. The Kiddie Science Lab chickens, Sweet and Sour, are New England breeds, able to withstand cold, long winters. In addition to their adaptations, which we'll explore more in a bit, the hens have excellent accommodations. Shielded from the rain/snow and wind, the coop windows and doors can all be shut tight in bitterly cold nights. So far, on the coldest nights, we've closed all but one opening because it actually stays pretty warm in there.

To highlight the important role that science has in society, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed November 10th to be World Science Day for Peace and Development. In addition to recognizing the importance of science in our everyday lives, World Science Day aims to engage the public in scientific discussion and exploration.

This year, the World Science Day for Peace and Development will focus on the theme “Science, a Human Right”. This theme highlights that everyone has a right to participate in and benefit from science and reminds us #whyweneedscience.

This month at Kiddie Science, we highlight the simple and complex ways science benefits us.
