Please review the program options below and specify the desired one upon enrollment:
1. Amazing Invertebrates
Insects and arachnids are some of the most diverse species of animals in the world! Learn about the differences between the two groups and why they are so important for the ecosystem. Meet our Arthropod Ambassadors up close for a chance to handle stick insects, feel the "sticky" feet of a cockroach, or help a tarantula smell its way around!
Recommended for Grades K and above
2. The Food Web- Predator and Prey
From the sun above to what we have for lunch, the path that food and energy travels from one organism to the other is an important part of our ecosystem. Learn about this connection through our different animal ambassadors and their place in the food chain. Students will have the chance to meet some of our resident insects, reptiles, and mammals.
Recommended for Grades 1 and above
3. Super Senses
Smell, touch, sight, taste, and hearing- these are our senses. Do other animals have the same ones? Learn about the special ways animals sense with different body parts and how these are different from how we do it! Students will have a chance to meet a variety of different animals, and even have a chance to test their own senses!
Recommended for Grades K and above
4. Reptiles and Amphibians
Reptiles and Amphibians are some of the most fantastic, yet misunderstood animals in the world. Found throughout much of the world, these are some of the most important species in their ecosystems. Through interactions with our Animal Ambassadors, students will learn about what makes reptiles different from amphibians, why the term "cold-blooded" may not be the best description for them, and why they aren't the creepy crawly creatures many people think they are!
Recommended for Grades K and above
5. Oceans: Intertidal Ecosystem
While most of us are familiar with the whales and sharks of the deep ocean, we often forget about the wonderful wildlife found right along our beaches! Taking place in our ocean exhibit, students will have a chance to see and learn about some of our native intertidal species. Learn about the bizarre sea urchin, see the tube feet of the sea star, and maybe even see the pipefish eat! Students will have a chance to visually enjoy our living animals, while preserved specimens will be used for hands-on learning.
