Observing The Day in the Life of a SOFO Pond─A Pop-up Exhibit: This program will continue
through the spring and summer and is for all ages.
Program Leader: Crystal Possehl-Oakes, SOFO Environmental Outdoor Education Specialist
When we stand at the edge of a pond, we tend to notice the larger animals like frogs, turtles, and birds. But why do those animals choose to live at or visit the pond? We would need to get in the water to see the multitude of smaller animals that keep a pond healthy, but mud would be easily stirred up by a diver or ROV. Join Crystal after she has collected pond water in a variety of containers, with plenty of time for mud to settle and creatures to start moving and help collect and identify the secret life in the pond with a variety of magnifiers and microscopes. This pop- up exhibit will be held the first Sunday of the month, April through September, so stop by to see how pond life changes through spring and summer!
For nonmembers, there is a $15 fee for Adults and $10 fee for children for this program. This program fee will also provide non-members with free admission to the museum on a day of their choice. Members are free.
