Challenge Accepted! – Have you ever wondered why a zebra has stripes, warthogs have tusks, or a meerkat has dark patches around its eyes? Well those are all ADAPTATIONS, and adaptations allow animals to overcome challenges in their habitat so they can survive and thrive. We will learn about the adaptations of several savannah animals so they can say “Challenge Accepted!”
- Auditorium | 3rd grade and up (200 maximum)
Our Changing World – Together we will learn what climate is how it is changing and how it impacts our planet. Don’t worry though we will also discuss ways that students and adults can become “Climate Champions” and do their part to slow global climate change.
An event at SCZ is a truly unique experience. We have venues to create an atmosphere your guests will never forget.
