SUMMARY:10:00am-12:00pm Nature-based Field Trip: Life in a Stream
DESCRIPTION:Streams are an excellent place for the science of discovery and investigation. The critters who make their home in the stream demonstrate a beautiful web of life\, from algae and microscopic organisms\, to insect larvae and amphibians. We’ll begin at the Hitchcock Center and use our limnology lab tools to practice techniques for observing small aquatic creatures and learning about their unique life cycles and adaptations. We’ll then head to the Fort River at Groff park\, where we will collect and observe several varieties of invertebrates that depend on this habitat. \nwith Helen Ann Sephton\nMinimum Age 5\nFridays\, 10am–12noon\nSeptember 4–October 16 (no program September 11) \nFee per Child:  Tier A-$24 per trip  |  Tier B-$19 per trip  |  Tier C-$14 per trip | Tier D- $7\nFee per Adult:  Tier A-$28 per trip  |  Tier B-$23 per trip  |  Tier C-$18 per trip | Tier D- $9\nLimited to 12 participants.

SUMMARY:10:00am-12:00pm Nature-based Field Trip: Life in a Stream
DESCRIPTION:Streams are an excellent place for the science of discovery and investigation. The critters who make their home in the stream demonstrate a beautiful web of life\, from algae and microscopic organisms\, to insect larvae and amphibians. We’ll begin at the Hitchcock Center and use our limnology lab tools to practice techniques for observing small aquatic creatures and learning about their unique life cycles and adaptations. We’ll then head to the Fort River at Groff park\, where we will collect and observe several varieties of invertebrates that depend on this habitat. \nwith Helen Ann Sephton\nMinimum Age 5\nFridays\, 10am–12noon\nSeptember 4–October 16 (no program September 11) \nFee per Child:  Tier A-$24 per trip  |  Tier B-$19 per trip  |  Tier C-$14 per trip | Tier D- $7\nFee per Adult:  Tier A-$28 per trip  |  Tier B-$23 per trip  |  Tier C-$18 per trip | Tier D- $9\nLimited to 12 participants. Children must be accompanied by an adult (limit 1 adult and up to 4 children).
