New interactive offering for children 6–7 years old: This Science Detectives class is a real “who dung it.” Put your detective skills to the test as we learn how to identify some of the most common clues left behind from wildlife: tracks and scat. Participants will create their own track and scat models, solve some track mysteries, and make field ID guides to use in their backyards.
Each live program will come with an interactive kit that contains materials for the child to use during the class. All activities encourage the development of skills in scientific observation and thinking.
Participants Need to Provide:
- Computer or tablet with a microphone and camera
- Internet connection
- Access to Zoom
- A pencil
- A notebook or paper for observations
- Area in front of the computer to do activities on a table
