## About

Wild Science is a Saturday-morning discovery class for early-learning scientists ages 4 to 6. It is a drop-off program, though parents are welcome to join in. Each two-hour class includes discussion, inquiry-based activities and a visit from one of the zoo's animal ambassadors. On November 7 (Lighter Than Air) children explore light and air and how animals use both; on December 5 (Water + Soil = MUD) they make mud pies and talk about where mud comes from and how animals use it. The fee covers one child and an optional adult attendant; members get 10% off.
