Students will explore the methods of animal tracking and how to use knowledge of science to track animals. Six animals that are endemic to the BNL site will be discussed and students will apply what they learned through an interactive guessing game and coloring activity.

A virtual visit to Brookhaven's Science Learning Center will excite and engage students in grades 1 to 5. Young scientists can enjoy discovery-based, hands-on learning experiences centered on a variety of scientific principles.
