Catch the Rays - 1st Grade
NGSS PE Supported: 1-PS4-3
In this hands-on Traveling Scientist program, first-grade students will dive into the fascinating world of light! They’ll explore how different materials interact with light, from transparent or translucent to opaque, and reflective to refractive. Using interactive kits, students will sort objects into five categories and share their discoveries. Students will also have the opportunity to meet three animal ambassadors specially adapted to thrive in environments with varying amounts of light. This fun, science-packed adventure will help students understand how light behaves and how it helps us see the world!
Amazing Animals - Bioinspiration - 1st Grade
NGSS PE Supported: 1-LS1-1
Join us for an exciting, hands-on adventure with animal
ambassadors that will ignite your first graders' creativity and
spark their imaginations! During this engaging visit, students
will explore how nature's designs inspire amazing human
inventions. They will observe animal structures and phenomena,
discuss bio-inspired technologies, and develop design ideas based on animal observations. Insmall groups, students will put their thinking caps on and brainstorm fun, nature-inspired solutions to real-world problems. This experience shows how animal adaptations can lead to incredible engineering innovations.
