The exploration of natural history doesn't have to just happen at the museum - it can happen in your home too! Join museum educators as they walk your family through science skill-building activities and ways to explore the natural world and collections. This program is all about the unique adaptations animals have to survive in their habitat. Museum technician Ingrid Rochon will guide us through an exploration of the canopy layer of the rainforest in Panama. She will help us practice identifying how the canopy and animal adaptations work to meet the basic needs of the animals found there. Throughout the program, our educators will also lead your family through creating a model of this habitat! Please have the following materials ready at the start of the program: - Paper (suggested colors: green, brown, and white)
- Coloring supplies (crayons, markers)
- Yarn or string
- Scissors
- Tape or a Stapler
- Pencil
