Zoom into the micro-world by engaging in a variety of microscope investigations that will explore microscope parts, slide preparation, cell biology,
macroinvertebrates, and protozoa.

Discover how organisms are able to survive and thrive by adapting to their environment in many ways, using natural weapons to defend themselves, hunt prey, or compete for resources to meet their needs within an ecosystem.

Investigate the predator/prey relationships within an ecosystem by deconstructing an owl pellet, while learning the fundamentals of energy transfer as it relates to the food chain and food web.

Observe insects to identify their physical characteristics, compare them to other animals, and determine their importance in food webs and pollination.

Observe amphibians to identify their physical characteristics, compare them to other animals, and explore adaptations that allow for survival.

Explore different animal habitats and discover who calls these habitats home.

Explore different aquatic habitats by viewing freshwater microorganisms under microscopes, learning about NYC’s drinking water supply, and determining how we can conserve water.

Investigate the importance of compost by getting a firsthand look at ESC’s compost bins, observing the vital organisms that aid in this process, and learning how to be a steward of the environment by composting at school and at home.

Discover bees' important connection to pollination and our food supply, how they compare to other insects and animals, and the inner workings of a honey bee hive, including how and why honey bees make honey.
