Class Description
We are going to go out to the pond, and discover what lives in it!! We will collect water/plant samples, and bring them inside to look at them.up close and personal through a microscope! We will learn what species of critters we find, and if time allows, draw a picture of it and what it eats(or who eats it!) We will be walking around outside by the water, and may even be walking in muddy terrain!!
Class Requirements: Good mucklucks for the feet (rubber boots). Easy to put on to go outside, easy to take off at the door so we don’t track mud through the church 🙂 Patience and good listening skills. We will be using borrowed microscopes, being respectful of property is an absolute 🙂 I would think this class would be ok for a mature 6 and 7 year old, however I would not be comfortable with any 5s especially since we will be spending time by the water. So, child needs to be 6 years or older.
Materials Needed: Rubber boots!, pencil and 1″ three-ring binder to create a science journal.
Teacher: Vankuiken
Cost: $5.00
