   Description of classes:
  Classes cover a range of topics that help children explore and understand our local         
   ecosystems.  The children will use tools like microscopes,  viewing scopes, ID books and other aids
   to help them learn and explore their environment.  Classes feature games, songs, stories, props,
   specimens and cool experiments. Most of all, we have lots and lots of fun!

  Some sample topics and activities include:

    Testing ocean acidity level and the effects on hard-shelled animals.
    Experiment: Can crabs smell?
    All about Orcas
    Play: Life-cycle of a Douglas fir tree
    Build a wormery and other insect habitats
    Owl-pellet dissection
    Learning to live with coyotes
    The secret lives of insects
    Study real-life artifacts: from owl feathers to coyote skulls and eagle eggs.

     ...And  more
