The Science of Helping Animals (including people) Feel Better
Did you know that animals can get earaches, sore throats, and stomach aches just like people? Did you know that animals can be helped to feel better using some of the same methods that people use, such as nose spray and hot and cold
packs?
In this workshop, you will meet the author and illustrator of Dr. Rosie Helps the Animals. The story is based on real-world veterinarians and includes lots of science that you can explore.
You will do experiments to see why salt spray works to unstuff noses and why cold packs work to reduce swelling. You will also make and take home your own stethoscope, heat/cold pack, and aloe vera mixture to help soothe skin.
