Out of This World
Come explore the universe with us! We’ll discover how our days, seasons, and years can be predicted by the orbit of Earth around the sun. We’ll learn how stars in our galaxy and planets in solar system compare to each other and try our hand at modeling how stars are formed.
Critters in the Cold
Let’s take a virtual trip to Antarctica! Discover how blubber, feathers, and more help animals adapt to extreme weather.
Cold-Blooded Classification: Reptiles
Engage in the world of classification as we focus on a particular cold-blooded animal group: Reptiles! By meeting live reptiles, and through hands-on activities, students will explore the adaptations that make them successful, and how scientists compare and contrast these particular cold-blooded creatures.
Walking Up a Food Chain
Together we will construct a live food chain as your students meet a raptor, reptile, amphibian, arachnid, and an insect. Along the way we discuss how these animals' lives are connected and learn about the delicate balance that allows them to survive both individually and together as wildlife who share a habitat.
Halloween Slime Time
Is it a solid, liquid, gas, or something even spookier? Make two kinds of slime as we investigate the states of matter.
Bat Biology
Meet up to three live bats with the Leslie Science & Nature Center! Join in as we take an up close look into the wondrous world of bats! Explore what makes bats so unique, why they're important across the globe and try your hand at being an expert echo-locator using a simple tool to understand sound!
Slime Time and the States of Matter
Explore the three states of matter by making two types of slime. Get up and moving to determine what state your matter is in!
