Youths will learn about the elements of soil, including worms, by making edible pudding cups like these in a 4-H workshop.
Youths can learn about soil science - and play with their food - in a fun, hands-on workshop with 4-H and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service.
Allison Bruchhaus, Anchorage 4-H program coordinator, will lead the program at the Learning Commons in the Z.J. Loussac Library, 3600 Denali St., Anchorage. It is designed for youths from ages 5-11.
Participants will learn the many elements of the soil (including worms!) by putting together their own pudding cup environment. Participants will be introduced to soil components and learn layers of the soil while making a tasty treat. The ingredients contain wheat, gluten and coconut.
The event is part of the library's science, technology, engineering and math program. No registration is required.
