We’ve covered a wide variety of topics from snowflakes to honey bees, and there’s still more to come. In case you missed any of our activities, here is a quick review of some amazing things we’ve learned this winter! We even have a sneak peek at the activities coming up during February. To experience more hands on science, bring your family to Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden when we re-open on February 24, where we explore our world every day.

Remember… Your Adventure Starts Here!

1. How do snowflake form and what do they look like?

Snowflakes form inside of clouds as the temperature reaches 32°F. Snowflakes are six-sided because H2O molecules bonded a hexagonal shape. The chemical structure of water is revealed in the beautiful formation of snowflakes!

3. What do honey bees do and how do they communicate?

Honey bees gather nectar from flowers to create honey. Honey bees share the location of flowers with one another through dance—the waggle dance! Honey bees can communicate how far and in what direction to fly to reach a specific flower by simply dancing.
