Kindergarten students will join the Pacific Science Center in an environmental exploration at the Mercer Slough. In the lab, students become familiar with the science terms, “organism,” “habitat” and “adaptation” before getting hands-on experience searching for and catching Aquatic Macroinvertebrates from the pond samples. After, they have a unique experience looking at all of the pond creatures under a projector microscope to really bring those adaptations to life. During the hike, educators show students a new way of exploring habitats by practicing observation skills in both a forest and a wetland. Students are challenged to find different examples of food, water and shelter in a group scavenger hunt. If there is enough time, groups can get any extra energy out playing an organism game.
