Munch, Move & Multiply

Investigate what it means to be alive through careful observation and imaginative play.

Use a magnifying glass to investigate insects, discover how a seed gets its energy to grow, and practice classifying museum objects. We’ll act like scientists and the animals they study as we crawl, swim, fly, and slither our way to a deeper understanding of what it means to be alive.
