Rain, and Snow, and Sun…Oh My!
March 2, 2021 from 1-4pm
March can be a wacky weather month so this week we will explore different types of weather and the effects of weather changes on the plants and animals. Get ready to make your own weather forecast, start a weather journal, and participate in weather experiments!
Maple Sugaring
March 9, 2021 from 1-4pm
It’s maple sugaring time at Baltimore Woods! This week we’ll explore the sugar bush and learn all about the process of how we turn sap into maple syrup. Get ready to do a little taste testing of the sap and syrup, yum!
Science of Mud
March 16, 2021 from 1-4pm
Playing in mud is fun for everyone of all ages but this week we are going to dig in and explore some of the science behind mud. What is it? Where can you find it? Do plants and animals live in it? We’ll answer these questions and more and maybe even make some mud pies.
Equinox Extravaganza
March 23, 2021 from 1-4pm
The Spring Equinox is here! This week we’ll learn about what an equinox is and how people of the past have celebrated these turning points in the year. Together we’ll create our own activities and games for a group Equinox Festival at the end of the day!
