Refuge Rocks - Microbiology or What's in a Pond (Ages 5-10)

Ponds are like nature's bustling party zones! These vibrant ecosystems are packed with a colorful cast of critters and plants—probably more than any other hangout in town! No matter when you visit, a pond is a front-row seat to the spectacular show of how plants and animals mingle and dance with their surroundings. It’s the ultimate classroom for curious minds! Dive into the life cycles of flora and fauna, with birds and bugs buzzing overhead while fish and frogs throw their own splashy soiree below.
