In all there are eight natural science topics that will be covered during the 2016-17 school year. In October it was entomology.
After a short indoor formal class, we moved outdoors for our biological fieldwork with swept nets and little cups to hold our catches. Every student caught something to be proud of be it grasshopper, cricket or spider. OK, there was one wasp, caught by a Mom, and we were very very careful with it. We don't mess with the Hymenopterans, i.e. those with stingers.

This upcoming week we turn our attention to the birds for the future ornithologists in the classes, followed by geology in December.
Ijams Nature Center has been connecting kids and their parents with nature since 1968.
