Farm Science--Thursday, June 12 from 10am to 2pm
Summer means science at Clark Historic Farm. The best way to learn science is to feel it, touch it, and smell it. We will explore the science of specific barn animals, crops and more through a variety of hands-on experiences and activities. Each child will bring home a project they have created. Bring a lunch and come ready to have fun learning about farm science. CLICK HERE to print your registration form.
