STEAM/Science Night Programs

GA Snakes and their Adaptations: 

What better way to learn about snakes than with a live animal demonstration! Students learn about snakes’ adaptations and their importance in Georgia ecosystem with our corn snakes, Kernal and Niblet! 

Kindergarten - Second Grade

Campus Explorer

Nature is everywhere - offering the perfect setting and basis for instruction! Let us guide your class on an engaging and inquiry-based interpretive walk on your campus. Students use their senses to explore, apply scientific processes, and journal observations.

Third Grade Programs

Brooke and Branch Puppet Show

Brooke is a little girl who goes on a big adventure! Join her as she learns about water quality & biodiversity from the friends she meets along the way. This whole grade, assembly style program emphasizes ecological concepts & vocabulary while demonstrating how we can help the environment.

Standards: S3L1, S3L2 

Ecoregions of Georgia:

Georgia ranks 6th in the nation for overall species diversity, particularly due to our five distinctive ecoregions! Learn the characteristics and natural history facts about each ecoregion by exploring how geographic topography contributes to biological diversity.

Fourth Grade Programs

Georgia Ecosystems & Species Adaptations

Explore ecosystems by looking at living and nonliving factors affecting interdependency, determine plant and animal adaptations and limitations, follow energy as it moves through food chains and food webs, and conclude how human impacts can make a difference. We’ll look at slides of various ecosystems and plant and animal adaptations, experience what it’s like to be an animal trying to survive, and apply knowledge with a live corn snake!

Standards: S4L1 

What is a Watershed

We all live in a watershed - upstream and downstream. During this interactive session, students use a watershed model to demonstrate the impacts of pollution on streams and lakes while learning about local water quality issues. This hands-on program reveals how everyday activities can affect our drinking water and wildlife while encouraging discussion about watershed protection and pollution prevention.

Standards:  S4E3

Fifth Grade Programs

Erosion and the Hydrologic Cycle

Erosion and Weathering - what’s the difference? Students visit lab stations to study the causes and effects of erosion, weathering, and sediment deposition while discovering how these forces change the landscape and aquatic habitats. Using a wetland model, students decide how to mitigate the consequences of human impacts and how natural systems are beneficial to the hydrologic cycle. 

Standards: S5P1
