From the smallest microbe to the largest mammal, Life Science explores the origins, evolution and expansion of life in all its forms. Explore a wide range of topics from animal profiles to genetics and conservation.

BONE ZONE – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The skeletal system of our body includes an endoskeleton, a framework of bones that gives us shape and provides us with protection and support. The children experiment with bone strength and build a plastic skeleton model to discover some of the scientific names of the bones that make up their frame.

SQUID DISSECTION – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will be introduced to the scientific classification of living things. They will learn to identify parts of the external and internal anatomies of a squid and will find out how the squid moves, eats, breathes, and reproduces. At the end of the dissection, they will extract the cartilage pen and write their name using ink from the ink sac.

ARTHROPOD SURVEY – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will be introduced to the scientific classification of living things, focusing on arthropods, especially insects. The children will learn to identify parts of the external anatomy of a grasshopper and will find out how the grasshopper moves, eats, breathes, grows, and reproduces. They will build an edible scientific model of an arthropod.

OWL PELLETS – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will learn about the interdependence of living things as they are introduced to habitats, food chains, and food webs. They will dissect an owl pellet, discovering what an owl pellet is, how it is formed, and what it tells scientists. Activities will include identifying the bones from the pellet and using them to try to reconstruct a complete skeleton.
