We are now in the dog days of summer, the hottest part of the year. It is no surprise, then, that the noisy cicadas you’re hearing are called dog day cicadas! These are fascinating insects, and their calls seem to instantly bring warm summer evenings to mind. There are several species that fall into this group - and did you know that you and actually identify the different species by their song?
In this JAM, you will learn how and why cicadas make their calls and how they can be so loud! We’ll test our knowledge of cicada calls and walk along the wetlands trail for observation…possibly even handling. (They are harmless!)
PLEASE NOTE:
We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.
Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom!
Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
