Eco KID (Grades 3-5)
Grades: 3rd - 5th (Ages: 8 - 11) Co-ed
Each week young ecologists design and construct amazing habitats and explore plant and animal life cycles. Unlike our science classes, where students work on several activities each week that support the class theme, students in Eco-KID take a more in depth look and work on one project a week for the eight week session. Over the course of the session they will create a nesting cache, a grass-scape, a wick-fed farm, and a salt water habitat for their own brine shrimp, among other projects. This program introduces students to the themes of sustainability, extinction, and biodiversity.
Additional Notes
Each week students will bring home a project that they have worked hard on and a handout explaining the next step. Please assist them to take that step! Minimum 8, Maximum 12
Spring season only
