Puddle Wonderful March 30, 2011

Spring brings plenty of showers to help those flowers grow. Discover the exciting journey of a raindrop. How do they get up in the clouds? Meet one of our web footed friends and learn how they stay dry on a rainy day. Let's go outdoors looking for puddles and ponds. Why do sticks float and pebbles sink? What makes those ripples? Wear boots in case we find a puddle to wade in. - - All ages welcome, up to three children per adult. Fees apply to all participants, both adults and children.
