Have you ever run your fingers across the mosaics on a lizard's skin or seen up-close the gold in a toad's eye? The Whiptail Lizard and the Spadefoot Toad are just two of seven state animals you will be investigating with almost all your senses. Your research will take you around the museum, to the BioPark, and to Tingley Beach where experts will point out fascinating facts about the creatures that share the same land and water you do. Back in the museum classroom, you will sculpt, paint and draw some of those slithering, splashing, or sauntering specimens you so skillfully studied. Each session is limited to 13 participants and is taught by two adult instructors. Field trip transportation is included.
(Entering 2nd or 3rd Grade in the 2014-2015 School Year)
