Homeschool children grades K-5 can join us for 4 separate dates as staff from White Memorial Conservation Center teach them about the wildlife and environment around them!
Schedule:
Creature Features: September 17th @2:00 P.M.
What makes a mammal a mammal? Or a reptile a reptile? How about an amphibian an amphibian? Scientists have grouped animals based on similar features. Using natural props, animal mounts, and LIVE animals, White Memorial will break down the characteristics of several major animal groups to Homeschool children in grades K-5.
Habitat Chat: October 15th @2:00 P.M.
During this program, White Memorial will break down the four essential components of a habitat – food, water, shelter, and space (air) to Homeschool children in grades K-5. After a fun game reinforcing these components, they will use live ambassadors and fun props to learn about native animals that live in CT habitats such as fields, forests, and ponds. The program will finish by teaching kids how they can help CT’s animals by providing their habitat necessities.
Animal Adaptations: November 19th @2:00 P.M.
Can turtles leave their shells? Do opossums hang by their tails? Can owls turn their heads ALL the way around? All of these questions have to do with the adaptations these animals possess to thrive in their habitats. Homeschool children in grades K-5 will find out the answers to these questions and MORE with White Memorial Conservation Center during their “Animal Adaptations” program. Using natural props, animal mounts, and even a couple of LIVE animals, White Memorial will illustrate how both structural and behavioral adaptations benefit animals. Participants will then be shown “mystery props” from local animals, for which they will propose how these body parts serve as adaptations.
Animal Tricksters: December 17th @2:00 P.M.
Sneaky, sneaky! Over time, certain animals have evolved unique adaptations to trick their foes. Through the use of camouflage, warning colors, and downright cunning behaviors, these animals have found ways to survive in a competitive world. White Memorial will cover these various methods of trickery using native CT animals as examples. Homeschool children in grades K-5 will even get to meet a couple live ambassadors!
