Cozy Home, Cozy Animal
December 1, 2020
In our first week of Science Adventures in Nature, we’ll learn about the different types of homes animals build to survive the cold winter. We’ll follow their tracks to find out where they are keeping warm and build a home for ourselves too!
Predator vs. Prey
December 8, 2020
This week we are exploring predators and their prey. We’ll engage our senses to understand the different strategies and adaptations animals have to hunt or escape being hunted. Will you catch your prey or become a predator’s dinner?
Wonderful Winter Life
December 15, 2020
Did you know you can still find a lot of life in December? This week we will explore the preserve in search of plants, animals, and whatever else we come across! We’ll practice our birding skills, count squirrels, and search for natural materials for a fun craft.
More details: This program is planned to be entirely outdoors, so please dress for the weather. Lessons are suited for ages 5-13. Students must pre-register for the entire series. Adults are encouraged, but not required to join the group, and must stay on-site during the program. Bring a water bottle and a small snack. At Baltimore Woods Nature Center, the health and safety of our staff and visitors is of utmost importance.
