Program Description:
Discover the parts of a food chain and what different plants and animals need to live and grow. Participants will observe live animal interactions to gain an understanding of the connections between parts of a food chain. Students will also act out the parts of a food chain to build a model of a Michigan food web, including a dramatization of how humans can impact the environment. This program features a visit with Ranger, a live red-tailed hawk.
