As we enter a new year, we are pleased to continue to offer our Georgia 4-H Zoom into Science sessions, allowing 4-H youth to engage in real-world science experiences in a virtual setting. To date, 15 scientists from 7 states have hosted a session, and over 1,000 young people have participated in the live webinar (with many families watching the recordings). It’s time for 2021!
Why did the Turtle Cross the Road? – January 21, 2021 from 4-5:00pm
Join Environmental Educator and UGA CAES graduate student Nike Pappas from Burton 4-H Center as she teaches us all about turtles and ways to help with their conservation efforts. Nike is going to introduce us to some of the animal ambassadors at Burton 4-H Center! During this session, youth will have the opportunity to participate in a Kahoot game; a smart device (tablet, phone, etc. ) and internet connection/data available will be needed to participate.

Just a few reminders:
- Please promote widely – schools, education groups, other youth-serving organizations, etc. Participation is not limited to 4-H members or youth in the state of Georgia.
- Families register through a secure site and then receive a link to the Zoom webinar. No additional work is required of the County Extension office … all you have to do is share!
- Previous sessions are recorded, captioned, and posted on the Georgia 4-H Zoom into Science Kaltura Channel: https://kaltura.uga.edu/channel/Georgia%2B4-H%2BZoom%2Binto%2BScience/172382871.
- Have an idea for a great guest scientist? Let me know!
Should you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks again for promoting the Georgia 4-H Zoom into Science series.
Happy Science!
