Skeletal Systems - mammals, reptiles, and birds

  • 26 Nov 2019
  • 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
  • Tanglewood Nature Center
Homeschooling families - want to get outside on a science expedition, meet other families, and learn about a topic in-depth with hands-on exploration? Our homeschool drop-in program returns the last Tuesday of the month! Each program will dive into a different topic, and the curriculum is designed to enrich and expand on STEM standards. Dress for the weather and expect to spend some time outdoors!

This week, we'll learn about the skeletal structures in different kinds of animals (mammals, reptiles, and birds) and how their different structures change how they move! Look at x-rays and meet the animals behind the bones. We'll make some connections between our own bones and other animal bodies.

$5 for a family if you're a member of Tanglewood; if you're not yet a member, $10 for the family. Cash is preferred.

Please arrive a few minutes early to check in, so that the program can start on time.
