Come celebrate the wonder of our natural world as we unravel the mysteries of ecosystems through a variety of experiments, activities, games, and crafts! Our week begins with an exploration of the fascinating ecological history of our world during which we will discover how history has influenced the types of animals and plants that you find here, as well as in other parts of the world. We will discover amazing plant and animal adaptations and the sometimes extreme strategies of living things to survive!

There are challenges and problems to solve, and we need the help of our young scientists to design an anti-venom for a mock venomous snakebite, to build miniature machines powered by solar and wind energy, and to devise a plan to make our water safe after an oil spill in our model.

We will decipher the secrets of soil with scientific tests and learn all about our local waterways. We will peer through microscopes at the very small, fly a very large solar balloon into the sky, and much more!
