Last week’s ‘Wildlife
Adventure’ we learned all about bees and the important roles that they play in
the world around us! Tuesday’s adventure was centered mostly on learning all
that we could about bees while here at the museum. We learned the different
types of bees, the importance of bees and how they communicate with one
another. We were also able to discuss how insects (like bees) differ from other
animals and all of the kids were even able to meet the museum’s very own
tarantula, Tara! Though there was a lot to be learned, we were sure to leave
plenty of time for fun and games as well. Between the “bee scavenger hunt” (in
which the kids searched to find tiny paper bees hidden all throughout the
museum) and the “waggle dance game” (in which the kids formed “colonies” and
attempted to communicate with each other by preforming their very own “waggle
dances”) Tuesday’s adventure was definitely a blast!
Upset that you missed out on this buzz-worthy adventure? Don’t fret, we still have space left in next week’s ‘Feathered Friends’ adventure in which will be learning all about birds! Don’t miss out!
