Join us for Nature of Science: Adaptations! Our students will engage with animals, investigate why evergreens don’t lose their leaves in winter, and why different birds have different beaks.

Learn more at the link in our bio.

Why don’t evergreens lose their leaves in winter

Why don’t evergreens lose their leaves in winter? Why do different birds have different beaks? How have native animals and plants adapted to live in the environment we have today?

Your student will investigate these and other questions in Nature of Science, starting again February 24! This session will let your young scientist explore and engage with animals from creepy crawlers to birds of prey. Nature of Science is fun, deeply educational, and it encourages a love of nature.
