Spring 2012 Monthly Science Classes

EXPLORING THE ENVIRONMENT

MARCH: The Living World…How are the structures of ecosystems important to the way populations and communities are interacting with one another? Explore the diversity that exists close to home as well as globally.

 

APRIL: Water, Water Everywhere…Globally, water systems provide a balance for the variety of environments on this planet but are constantly threatened by pollution sources. Learn to describe surface, groundwater, and saltwater systems and discover how we test for H2O health.

 

MAY: Land and Water Use…We need vegetables to feed a growing population. We need trees to provide wood for our housing. We eat livestock for our meals. How do we accommodate all the demands of humans and protect our natural resources? This class concludes with an exciting tour of the Wayne Hill Water Treatment Facility.

 

LITTLE HANDS: A PRE-K EXPLORATION

Spark you preschooler’s interest in science with engaging hands-on experiences and creative art projects about concepts in nature. Calling all budding scientists to join the excitement as we explore…

March: Habitats and Communities - How are habitats and communities similar and different from one another?

April: Water - Water, water everywhere but do you know what makes it so special?

May: Natural Resources - We need to take care of the Earth and the natural resources it provides us.
