Grow geodes and personalize your own rock. Create stunning crystallized paintings while learning about crystal structures. Participants will take home a quarry full of surprises, but need to be prepared to paint and get a bit dusty. Advanced Crystals - An extension of Crystals for Explorers, Advanced Crystals will take participants into a deeper understanding of the content of rocks, practical uses for crystals and experiments to identify characteristics. Participants will create jewelry, build crystal sculptures, and grow edible crystals.
Painting is included, so dress appropriately.
Going Buggy - Safari Parkside s terrain in search of exotic insect species. Mount your catch artistically, after humanely euthanizing them, while learning about the different insect species, and what IS NOT an insect. This is a class, which excites further investigation, and with the equipment that each participant will take with them, will entice young entomologists to continue exploration. Much time is spent outside in grasses and along the ponds, so insect repellent is a must, and appropriate shoes and clothing required. Advanced Entomology - This class picks up after Going Buggy.
