Naturalist Classes: Touch and Balance (ages 8-10)
Sponsor(s): Sarah P. Duke Gardens
Cost: : Gardens members $7 per class; general public $10 per class. Register for all 4 classes at a fee of $24/$36.
Join other homeschool students at Duke Gardens in a small group setting with classes designed to maximize exploration in nature. This fall, on four Mondays in Sept., Oct. and Nov., explore the full scope of your senses. Learn how other living things perceive the world around them, and why their senses might be similar or different to yours. How do different senses help living things to learn and survive?
Touch & Balance
Feel the world around you as we explore Duke Gardens. Learn how to identify a tree by touch, how a bird lands on a branch, and how animals in a herd avoid bumping into each other. Navigate using the feel of the ground beneath your feet and a sense of your own movement.
Meet at the Doris Duke Center.
