WHAT:     Nature and Science Club is a PTO-sponsored after-school activity for Irving School students interested in nature, science, and technology.  The club is very informal.  We emphasize hanging out with friends while engaging with hands-on activities like launching rockets, playing with magic, meeting live animals, building electronic devices, and trading at the Irving School Nature Swap.  Weekly themes this spring include:

• Bugs:  Bugs in the dirt, visit to the Prairie Garden, and microscopic bugs.
• Reptiles and Amphibians: Meet real live snakes, turtles, frogs, and lizards.
