There be Dragons!

Offered by and last updated on August 29, 2008.

Description This NEW winter program combines thnking skills, imagination and science to search the Park for signs of dragons. What do we already know about dragons? Why does the Chinese dragon look like a snake? What characteristics of a real snake do we think dragons have? Children get to meet a real snake, enjoy a short introduction and the go out on the trails. What size might dragons be? Could they really breathe fire? What might they eat? Could they fly? Or maybe swim? Is there enough room in the Park for dragons and if so, where would they live? The program aims to reinforce scientific method and stimulate children's creativity while learning about characteristics of living things.
