Worms of the Ice Age
Dig into the squiggly mysteries of prehistory at this exciting Fun Friday event! Explore the strange world beneath our feet during the Ice Age, including the surprising fact that North America once had no earthworms as we know them today. Most native earthworms disappeared during the Ice Age, and many worms found here now were introduced later by European settlers.
Join us for hands-on activities, fascinating science, and plenty of creepy-crawly fun as we uncover how these tiny creatures helped shape the landscape after the glaciers melted. Perfect for curious kids, families, and anyone who loves weird nature facts!
Looking for something fun to do with your kids this summer? Then join MDWFP’s Mississippi Museum of Natural Science for Fun Fridays. Each Fun Friday will have a new theme where we will explore activities that feature astonishing humans, amazing animals, or crazy STEAM challenges through hands-on stations spread through the museum. Fun Fridays are suitable for families or groups with children ages 4 and up and is included with museum admission or membership.
