Family Fun Friday Info

FAMILY FUN FRIDAY #3
ANIMAL TRACKS AT THE LAND LAB
Friday, January 31st, 2014 
9:00-10:30

The Land Lab is located right here in Independence.  It is a temperate deciduous forest with a running stream that the High School Biology Club maintains and uses for educational studies. There is a large classroom behind the Board of Education that is filled with lots of CRITTERS. Some High School students and Mr. Maretka (Biology teacher) will be putting on a special program for our preschoolers.  Students will learn how to investigate the lives of animals through the tracks and other signs they leave behind. Making animal track prints, created a book, and a nature hike to hunt for animal tracks are included in this fun winter event!

IMPORTANT INFO:
  •  Arrive no later than 8:50.
