About this Event

The best way to study creek critters is to get in the water with them.

Let Berks Nature’s educators teach your children about nature and natural science! Our Homeschool Programs are specially designed to provide your students with a hands-on learning experience to better understand our natural world and the science underlying our ecosystems. Engage your child’s curiosity through experimentation and inquisition, all while under the thoughtful guidance of our skilled environmental educators.

 

During the May program, get ready to get wet! The best way to study creek critters is to get in the water with them. The types of animals living in a creek can tell us a lot about the water’s quality, and the best way to study these creek critters is to get in the water with them! Learn how to identify aquatic bugs and other macroinvertebrates while exploring Angelica Creek and build your own bug craft to take home. Bring water shoes, or shoes that can get wet, and an extra pair of clothes and socks. This class is best suited for ages 7+.

Please note, end times are approximate.
