The Concepts: The children will learn about life cycles and how mealworms grow and change into beetles. They will also learn how to use a hand lens as they closely examine mealworms.
Preschoolers will learn about the parts of a tree and will use cut up Christmas tree trunks (recycled from 140 trees) to smell the pine, count the rings, order them from smallest to largest, use a tape measure to find the diameter, and after building towers, measure the height.
