Connecting with Nature
(Pre-K – 2nd Grade Teachers)
 
Come along on a nature expedition right in the middle of Houston.  The Museum’s EcoStation exhibit makes this possible. EcoStation is an environmental exhibit where visitors engage in ecological studies and explore environmental issues by visiting a native plant garden, woodland area, pond and a research pavilion. We will explore innovative, hands-on activities that align with the Science TEKS related to Organisms and Environments and Science Investigation and Reasoning.
