Be Outdoors on the Seacoast in NH!

            

Experiencing nature is science education! Children will forget a worksheet, however they will not forget a first hand experience guided by their own interests and their own curiosities!  Get outside this summer, play in the dirt, and have a secret science moment...

                                                         The Seacoast Science Center:
There is something for learners of ALL ages! Exhibits, outdoor adventures, nature tours, day camps and a cool concert series are just the beginning of the cool things happening!


The Seacoast Science Center is located at 570 Ocean Blvd. Rye NH 03870-2104

Bring your friends, family, children and dog (on a leash)!

A printed guide to the trails is available. It includes a detailed trail map which you should pick up until you become familiar with the system. The guide also offers details on flora and fauna en route. Another booklet offers details on the well-maintained herb garden at the Langdon Farm building.

In addition to reviewing safety rules in a traditional matter, sing a song about it!

Rap:

(done for a chemistry class-but I still enjoy how is demonstrates some of the safety equipment like the emergency shower)
