Program Leader: Jake Kushner, SOFO Environmental Educator
In this hands-on program, children will discover the tiny “secrets” that inhabit a pond and help our friends (the turtles, frogs, ducks, and fish) to not just survive but thrive! We will use magnifiers and microscopes to view the secrets that are too small for our unaided eye to see. We will discover the strange ways pond “secrets” breathe, catch their food, and hide from danger as we look for spinning balls of algae, dragonfly young, cousins of crabs, bubble-carrying beetles and, with luck, tadpoles and salamander larva. Please dress to get wet or muddy.
