Virtual Saturday Family Science: Animals All Around Us

Saturday, May 16, 2020—10:00 am - 10:30 am

Donation

Close your eyes and picture this: Birds singing on a sunny day, squirrels chasing each other up a tree, ants carrying a cookie crumb through your kitchen. We live in a world full of animals that we can learn so much from, and all we have to do is pay attention. This week we’re taking a closer look at the animals that surround us and explore concepts like habitat, adaptation, and evolution. Any and all animals around you can be included like grey squirrels, song birds, and any animals you have in your own family!

We’re excited to announce that Saturday Family Science is back!!! Each week in this five part virtual series, we will explore a different topic and focus on how young learners can think scientifically. In each session we’ll highlight one of “The Tools of a Scientist” which include; observation, hypothesizing, experimentation, and data recording. We’ll practice these science skills and investigate the world we live in by studying plants, animals, water, and air. While there will be activities to serve different ages, this series will focus on younger learners from ages five to eight.

  • Live half-hour interactive Zoom class for young children ages 5–8
  • Every Saturday at 10am, May 9 – June 6, 2020 with Aemelia Thompson, Hitchcock Environmental Educator
