These fun, affordable classes encourage kids of all ages to connect with nature and make fascinating discoveries about the insect world:
- Growing Up: Butterfly (ages 3–6)
Learn how a caterpillar changes into a butterfly through our interactive puppet show, then create your own butterfly and help it hide from hungry birds in our meadow.
- The Magic of Metamorphosis (ages 6–8)
Discover metamorphosis and insect body parts using living animals. We’ll also learn about pollination by making our own pollinators to take home.
- Insect Investigators (ages 7–10)
Explore metamorphosis, body parts, and butterfly behaviors using samples of real insects, then take a turn identifying real butterfly species using the same tool scientists use.
Classes run approximately three hours.
