Below is a list of all the educational programs we offer, along with brief descriptions. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to book a particular program.
Bioblitz: Students will observe and record different organisms in their schoolyard. Students will learn about native plants and animals and how to conduct a scientific investigation.

Astronomy: Students will learn how to identify common constellations and the mythologies behind them through storytelling and a game. If time allows, students will make a Planisphere (or “Star Wheel”) so they can search the night sky for constellations.
Critter Dipping: Students will visit a wetland and use nets to catch invertebrates, tadpoles, frogs, and salamanders. Students will learn about invertebrates, amphibians, and wetlands, and why they are important.
Frogs: Students will learn about frog communication, frog life cycles, and the challenges frogs face in day-to-day life.
Mushrooms: Students will learn what how mushrooms are classified alongside other living things, how to identify different types of wild mushrooms, and why mushrooms are so important to our environment.
Species at Risk: Students will learn about species at risk in New Brunswick and how they are placed on the species at risk list. Students will play a game about the endangered Piping Plover to learn why it is at risk, current conservation efforts, and what we can do to help!
