Jr. Scientists
- Grades: Pre-K - 5th
- Time: 60 minutes
- Fee: $200 / $150 Early Bird
Wildlife Conservation Society scientists and keepers use observations to help answer questions and so can you! We'll start off with an animal meet and greet to put students' observation and inquiry skills to the test. Afterwards, your junior scientists will venture into the zoo with their field journals to practice making observations, asking questions, and proposing a hypothesis. This program is a great way to introduce the scientific process and encourage your students to create investigations. To receive the early bird price, you must visit before February 28, 2020.
