| Beach
in a Box |
Bring the beach to your classroom. Children will see and touch lots of marine artifacts, including shells, egg cases, seahorses, and more. We’ll learn about unique animals that make their home at the Jersey shore. |
 |
|
||
| Forest in a Box | NJ’s forests are home to all kinds of trees, plants, insects, and animals. Children will see and touch forest artifacts, including seeds, galls, nests, and all kinds of tree parts. We’ll also learn about animals that make the forest their home, using animal photos and the “big tree.” |
|
|
||
| Living Things | What’s alive and what’s not? What’s a plant and what’s an animal? With artifacts, masks, photos, and movements, we’ll explore the world of living things. We’ll learn about animal groups like mammals and birds. |

| 3-6 Classroom Programs | ||
| Find a Fossil | Where was the first full dinosaur skeleton found? Right here in NJ, of course! Students get to be paleontologists for a day as we excavate real fossils from mock rocks, then identify and label them. | |
|
||
| Tree-Cycle | Save the trees – our life depends on it, doesn’t it? We’ll check out tree parts, what they do, how a tree works, and why trees and people need each other to survive. Then we’ll do our part to save some trees by making recycled paper from junk mail. | |
|
||
| Feathered Friends | Learn to recognize common NJ birds by sight and sound. Then we’ll do a seasonally appropriate project to help backyard birds – cooking calorie-rich “suet” cakes for fall/winter, or building nesting boxes for spring/summer. | |
