Grades: K - 12

Students will engage in discovery while experiencing an up-close and personal encounter with one of our live animal ambassadors, touring our interactive museum, and joining a naturalist and docents to explore the Nature Study Area. Students encounter natural phenomena and learn science through the lens of patterns, structure and function, cause and effect, observation of wildlife, and more.
