Science for Seniors with Gloria Hoffner

Join JFCS Center for Senior Enrichment and Gloria Hoffner with Science for Seniors for a two part series.

November 18: Ocean Life - Come and learn about life below the waves! The ocean covers most our planet, has the most life on the planet and is where science believes, through fossil records, life on the planet began! Where did the water come from? Why is the ocean salty? See a shark jaw, a 350 million year old fossil, a preserved blow fish and learn why single women should stay away from male sharks!

December 16: Space - what is the age of the universe? How did the planets form? How long is a trip to Mars - and how would we live from food to housing on another planet ?
