Children’s Environmental Science Day is Aug. 9 at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences in Incline Village.

The 15th annual event is free from 1-4pm.

Children’s Environmental Science Day includes more than 30 interactive science activities hosted by local organizations, all aimed at children ages 6 and older. The hands-on activities are designed for the whole family.

Visitors will get up close and personal with fish and microscopic zooplankton from Lake Tahoe, learn about native species in the Lake Tahoe Basin, and test the water quality of a stream, along with many other science-based games and activities.

In addition, free ice cream will be provided from 2-4pm by Susie Scoops of Incline Village.

The Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences is located on the Sierra Nevada College campus at 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village.
