Critters: How and Why

Meet the members of JMDC’s Critter Corner family. During this Student Learning Expedition, Student Explorers will be introduced to a variety of reptiles and arthropods. Your Guide will discuss habitats, eating habits, body structure and function, reproduction, and the diversity that exists within an ecosystem. Some discussion topics include arboreal versus terrestrial; how and why foot pads differ; ways reptiles have adapted to their environment; and many more topics. Student Explorers will have an opportunity to see these critters up close and touch some of the reptiles. This Learning Expedition is enhanced with a JMDC Critters: How and Why Activity Book which reinforces the concepts covered in the program.

Cost – $12.50 per Explorer.

This Expedition complements CA Next Generation Science Standards – K S1.C; 1 LS1.A; 1 LS1.D; 2 LS4.D; 3 LS1.B; 4 LS1.A
