Daily Themes
Monday, February 16 and 23
Crazy Coral Reefs
We’ll visit the Center’s colorful coral reef exhibit and learn how these ecosystems sustain an incredible diversity of ocean life such as fish, sea turtles, sharks and more! Watch as our reef animals are fed their daily meal, and find out how coral reefs are being affected by warming waters. Design a cool reef craft to take home!
Tuesday, February 17 and 24
Winter Woods Ramble
Head out onto the park’s trails with us to look for signs of winter wildlife, such as tracks and scat. We’ll discuss what animals are sleeping the winter away, and what animals remain active throughout the chilly season. Build a snow animal or a cozy den in the wintry landscape!
Wednesday, February 18 and 25
Rock On!
We’ll stroll the winter coastline investigating the rocks we find, and learning how and when they were formed. We’ll look for signs of erosion caused by winter storms. Inside, we’ll check out some cool fossils and minerals, and design a ‘Pet Rock’ to take home. Geology is fun!
Thursday, February 19 and 26
Seabirds in Winter
Loons, eiders and scoters, oh my! Scan our coastal waters with us learning how to identify winter seabirds. How do they keep warm? What are they eating on their dives below the ocean’s surface? Come find out the answers to these questions, and play some fun seabird games in the snow!
Friday, February 20 and 27
One World Ocean
We’ll wrap up the week diving into the world of ocean conservation and exploration. With stories, games and short videos, we’ll learn about the wonders of our one world ocean, and discuss why it is so important to protect the health of the ocean and its inhabitants. Plus, design an ocean craft to take home.
