With ten folding tables, a white board and large tub of supplies, our educators turn two outdoor areas into classrooms. Teachers join the students and seem to enjoy the programs too.
ļ»æOver at Beach Show & Tell, educator Jennifer Ahlbrand kept the kids guessing as they attempted to identify shells, bones and egg cases.
At the Squid Dissection area, Education Curator Christin Brown taught rotating classes about mollusks, invertebrates and squid.
ļ»æWhen cutting begins with shiny scissors, thereās loud squeaks, snorts and laughter. Brown explains how to check the animalās sex in a scientific āgender reveal,ā a fun teaching tool created by tenured educator Jenna Livernois.
Again, laughter erupts when ink squirts out. Brown tells them how to use the squid āpen and inkā for traditional tattoos.
Nearby, Andrew makes a smiley face on his palm while other classmates canāt wait to wash theirs.
