Nature Detectives is our fun-tastic summer program for 4 to 9 year olds and their parents, grandparents or caregivers. Children are introduced to basic science concepts with animals, natural objects, crafts, puppets, stories, songs and nature walks.
Children are encouraged to become nature detectives – to observe, smell, feel, and listen to the natural environment in an effort to understand it. More importantly, they learn why they should respect nature and the simple steps they can take to preserve it. Classes meet for 1 hour each week. Ages: 4-10 (Must be accompanied by an adult). Time: 10:45am to 11:45am
Price: $5 per person – includes program, exhibit area, and craft
Students will use dip nets to collect and study organisms from the fouling community at the dock. Participants will examine their finds under microscopes.
