What are learning moments?

Duckpond Science

Turn your next visit to the duckpond into a fun learning experience.

*Young children will be amazed to notice all the different colored ducks. Count them. Sort them (how many white? how many with green heads? how many brown?)

*As you walk through the park, gather different types of leaves and try to guess which trees they came from.

*Count how many different types of animals you encounter during your walk (squirrels, ducks, geese, other birds, chipmunks)

*Older kids may enjoy taking a small water sample home and looking at it under a microscope or magnifying glass.

Be creative, use your imagination!
