Join scientists investigating evolution for outdoor family events at UBC's new Beaty Biodiversity Museum. Gather in the courtyard of the museum to examine specimens, meet scientists and participate in experiments. Learn about nature sketching from an artist and give it a try yourself. Comb the courtyard's organisms for clues during a scavenger hunt, have your face painted like a wild animal or chat with Charles Darwin about his theory. With a mix of hands-on art and science activities, this event is a great way for the whole family to learn about evolution. Part of UBC's Culture Fest 2009 and the Vancouver Evolution Festival.
