November Class Topics:

K – 4th Grade Class: Extraordinary Life Cycles
$12 (+ tax) per participant
Maximum: 10
You will discover the amazing abilities that ladybugs, frogs, and sea turtles require to complete their life cycles. Live animals and biofacts are used to provide specific examples of the life cycle process. Also, become familiar with the life cycle of a plant by starting bean seeds to take home so you can watch the plant life cycle occur right before your very eyes!

5th – 12th Grade Class: Pig Dissection
$25 (+tax) per participant
Maximum: 15
Love biology? Come participate in a fetal pig dissection! You will consider the specific morphological and physiological traits that define mammals and identify which characteristics of Sus scrofa classify them as mammals. You will work through a guided dissection of a fetal pig, observing organ systems and major organs, focusing on how form allows function at every level of physiology. Finally, you will determine the benefits and handicaps of living in social groups and connect their conclusions to the life strategies of wild and domestic pigs.
