Program Description:
Using mounts, dramatization, and hands-on activities, we’ll look at how adaptations and habitat help shape the way an animal looks and acts. We’ll also learn about the basic needs of animals and the characteristics and behaviors that help them to survive. Working together, the class will create a map of where different species can be found during the current season. Students will have a chance to interact with live reptiles and amphibians, hear animal calls, and touch animal pelts and artifacts. Topics will correspond with the current season.
