‘Water’ you doing in June?
Join the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery as we investigate the aquatic organisms who make a home living around the museum. This outdoor program will take place on-site at the Coovert Pond located next to the parking lot. Participants will help museum staff record the animals found within and around the pond.
During these programs, guests will be able to enter the water along with an educator to learn about macroinvertebrates and water quality! Participants can stay for part or the whole time-frame and these programs are free with museum admission. Spaces are limited so please REGISTER HERE or the button below.
When: We are offering three dates that you can attend this program. Each program is the same so you only need to attend one of them. June 15th, 16th, or 17th @ 1pm – 2pm
Where: Attendees will meet in the Education Lobby at 1:00pm. We will all walk out together to the onsite pond.
Preparation: please read the notes below to best prepare.
- This program takes place entirely outdoors. We recommend sunscreen, hat, and towel to dry off.
- Only attendees ages 6 and over will be able to enter the pond (up to knee level).
- Please wear old closed toed shoes and clothes that can get wet, or bring a spare to change into.
