Animal Investigations: Owls, Frogs or Butterflies

Through a combination of hands-on activities and a presentation, students will learn about the life history of owls, frogs or butterflies:

Owls: Through a variety of participatory learning exercises, students will be introduced to the owls of Massachusetts. Discover the unique characteristics of owls, learn how to identify different species, and explore the behavior and adaptations of owls.

Butterflies: Students will learn about the life cycles and characteristics of butterflies, discover which butterflies call Massachusetts home, and uncover the differences between butterflies and moths through hands-on activities and music.

Frogs: Students will learn about the life cycle of frogs, learn some frog calls and discover the differences between frogs and toads. Through hands-on activities, we will explore how frogs survive a cold New England winter as we discover the many different species of frogs that live in Massachusetts.
