- Science Saturday will take place at 10 a.m. at the Moorestown Library. Here, The Franklin Institute will present The Human Body. Ages four and older are invited to join the library on a wild journey through The Human Body to discover how nutrients in the food we eat are converted into the energy that keeps people on the move. Participants will also learn how muscles work and what blood actually accomplishes as it flows through our veins and arteries. Plus, there will be a special tribute to that duo that protects people from illnesses: skin and mucous! Sean Fischel Connect will sponsor the event.
