Spring 2024 

3/26/2024: Erosion

Come along and learn about how wind, water and even other rocks, can break down surfaces on Earth. We’ll look at streams, beaches and deserts to get a better idea of how the landscapes around us are constantly changing. 

4/9/2024: Frog Dissection

Dissections are a staple in biology lessons. They can be very useful in helping us understand the inner workings of different types of organisms and even give us some insight into how our own bodies work. This session will focus on the common grass frog and a group of animals known as Amphibians. 

4/23/2024: Invasive Species

Have you seen any iguanas around lately? Maybe even a duck begging for food? These are examples of invasive species right here in our backyard. We’ll get a better understanding of how Florida’s ecosystems are changing because of plants and animals that weren’t here just a hundred years ago. 

5/7/2024: All About Energy

In this lab we will explore energy sources found around the world. We’ll get a glimpse into the world of power as we understand why different energy sources work well in one environment, but not so well in others.  

5/21/2024: Summer STEAM Day

This class will give us an opportunity to explore all aspects of the STEAM curriculum with exciting hands-on learning. On this informal day of science, students will get to explore over a dozen activities guided by their own curiosity! 

Registration for each session closes at 5pm the day before.

**Before you register** Registration is limited to four students per registration. Additional students will require a separate registration.
