Program for Week Four, July 17th, 18th, 19th
About Summer Unplugged: Thanks to the generous support from Great River Hydro, The Nature Museum brings free environmental education programming to public libraries and the Bellows Falls Fish Ladder and Visitor Center during the summer months. These engaging free programs highlight topics related to the unique ecology and landscape of Northern New England.
Geared toward ages Pre-K through elementary grades, all ages are welcome. Programs will be 45 minutes long with dedicated time for a story reading and any nature-related questions you may have for our expert educators.
No registration is necessary. Library programs will be outdoors with lots of space for everyone, and inside during inclement weather. Join us to unplug, discover, and learn!
Who’s Eating What at Nature’s Dinner Table?
Carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, detritivore. These are the names that scientists use to describe different kinds of eaters in the natural world. What does a fox eat? How about a deer? What about a skunk? What kind of eater is a human? Come learn about the many different kinds of eaters, what their dinner looks like, and how they go about finding food and eating it too. Participants will get to take a look at animal skulls, pictures, and other cool bio-facts to learn about how and why animals eat what they do!
