Video lesson for kids: Bug Buzzers!

  • 1400 East Washington Ave Suite 170 Madison, WI (map)

Insects can make sounds in lots of different ways. Join Milcah in making a "bug buzzer" — a craft that explores how bugs make sound using air vibrations— as a part of this summer's Forces of Nature Virtual Summer Camp (madisonaudubon.org/forces-of-nature). Campers and non-campers are all welcome to join in!

Campers in the Super Explorers Club have the supplies to make one in their kit, but other friends at home will need:
- tape
- string (about 12" long)
- craft stick (a short pencil or straw will also work)
- scrap paper/index card
- 2 eraser caps
- scissors

To tune in, go to Madison Audubon's Facebook page and wait for the livestream to begin on July 1, 12pm CDT. We will also post links to the recording here afterward.
