Explorations! Workshops These 90-minute, theme-based workshops are hands-on, minds-on, and customized to be age-appropriate. They are specifically designed to encourage inquiry and student-directed learning. | |
| INVESTIGATING INSECTS Students take a close-up look at insects’ body parts, homes, and fascinating behaviors. Through hands-on experiences, students will gain an appreciation for these small, but important inhabitants of the natural world. There will also be a discussion on how to protect all living creatures. Limit: 30 students | |
| PUZZLING DINOSAURS Students will play the role of paleontologist as they examine the fossilized teeth, horns, and claws of various dinosaurs to learn about the unique adaptations of these beasts! Piecing these fossils together like a puzzle and comparing them to more familiar animal bones helps students gain a better understanding of how dinosaurs lived. Limit: 30 students | |
| NATURE SENSE-SATIONS Exploring natural objects with all five senses helps children make discoveries. They’ll understand how animals’ colorations help them to hide from danger, how feathers differ in texture and purpose, and much more. Students use their senses to help identify nature’s wonders – just like a scientist! Limit: 30 students | |
| ANIMAL TOOLS All creatures great and small survive by using their natural ‘tools’ – their feet, their teeth, their coloration and more. Students will handle these natural objects and learn first-hand how an animal’s ‘tools’ contribute to its survival. The role of people in animals’ survival is also discussed. Limit: 30 students | |
| IT’S A COLORFUL LIFE Available March – June Expose your students to the fascinating colors of the rainbow. Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? From deadly snakes to those that imitate, discover how the natural world uses color! Why do we stop at red lights? How do humans use color? Children gain an understanding of the colorful world that surrounds us as we bring to light what color means to them! Limit: 30 students | |
