As kids are enjoying their Thanksgiving break, we wanted to offer some at-home science activities to help pass the time while you're sweating over the stove making that big turkey dinner. For example, what is a turkey gizzard? And what's the purpose? And what about those beautiful Fall colors we're seeing in the trees around town? Why are they changing and what's the process there? In this week's Science Sunday we join beloved local science teacher Kristen Urquidez to break it all down:
