Fur, Feathers, and Fins

What is a mammal? Can all birds fly? How are fish able to breathe?

Designed specifically for younger students, this active, hands-on program is a unique introduction to mammals, birds, and fish for preschool, kindergarten, and first and second graders. Through costumes, activities, and hands-on demonstrations with museum specimens, students learn the distinguishing features of these special creatures. Students apply their new skills to determine the habitats and lifestyles of some familiar animals.
