Thank you, Cody Community! It is with sadness that Science Kids will no longer serve the young learners in the Cody Community. To the students who have taken our classes, to the parents and guardians who have believed in us, to the fine educators who have shared their love of learning, to the bus drivers and assistants who helped make sure every student had a great day, to the volunteers and helpers and people who have supported Science Kids with time and funding and opportunity, we are deeply grateful. We look with joy to the future of Science Kids, and with hope that kids will keep getting outside, where great learning happens! With much gratitude, Science Kids.

Thank you, Clarks Fork Fish Hatchery for sharing your time and expertise with our Science Kids! We appreciate you!

Creeks and Critters II July 18 and 19
6 - 8 year olds explored a variety of habitats to learn about adaptations. The class explored a beaver's dam, studied macroinvertabrates, and learned about a variety of native fish.

Young scientists involved in the Water Rangers class were introduced to the recreation sport of canoeing. They used their new skill of canoeing to learn about a diversity of animals that use our waterways and riparian areas. These scientists saw a muskrat, water snakes, fish, and birds as they canoed! Young scientists participated in water quality testing of our local lakes/rivers as they searched for and identified macroinvertebrates, as well as performed pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen tests. They also learned about our local fisheries as they visited the Clark Fish Hatchery and had the opportunity to use bobbers and lures to fish New Cody Reservoir with Wy Game and Fish employees. This group caught over 20 fish! In addition, they learned about the incredible beaver from a Wy Game and Fish Habitat Biologist as they visited Trout Creek Ranch on the Northfork. They will never forget that beavers have two sets of lips! These young scientists went home with memories as they used candy to learn how scientists make dichotomous keys and how historical Japanese fish printing can turn into pretty cool t-shirts.

Young Naturalists July 6, 7, 8
Six to eight year olds explored lakes, riparian habitats, agriculture land, and the Washakie Wilderness. These young explorers learned about how other life forms communicate using pheromones. They all experienced how a habitat can be affected by people and too many inhabitants. Through inquiry questions, these young scientists explored the world around them.

Explosive Science June 30 and July 1
Science Kids partnered with Park 6 Summer Slam to offer two days of explosive science experiments with young students (5, 6, 7, and 8 year olds). All outdoors, students made Elephant Toothpaste, volcanos, rockets, and exploded "seed pods". To cool off, the students set off their water rockets. Sixty Park 6 students were chemical scientists for a day!

Summer 2022 Creeks and Critters exposed 6 - 8 year olds to a diversity of animals that use our waterways and riparian areas. Young scientists participated in water quality testing of our local lakes/rivers as they searched for and identified macro-invertebrates, as well as performed pH, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen tests. From their data, young scientists found out that East Newton Lake has excellent water quality for aquatic inhabitants while Lower Beck Lake has poor water quality. These scientists also learned about our local fisheries as they visited the Clark Fish Hatchery and had the opportunity to fish New Cody Reservoir with Wy Game and Fish Employees. In addition, they learned about different animals, such as beaver, black bear and grizzly bear, and their adaptations as they visited the US Forest Service Wapiti Ranger Station. These young scientists went home with memories as they made plaster animal tracks and fish print shirts.

June 20, 21, 22, 23, 2022. Science Kids had an amazing and busy week connecting with nature on Heart Mountain! Throughout the week they documented their discoveries in their illustrated water color journals enveloped in their artistically painted parfleche. The class also went to WY Heritage Grains to learn how ancient wheats are grown, ground and used for baking. Throughout the week, students learned how to use a GPS to explore tipi rings, baked Dutch oven biscuits, explored the barracks and root cellar at the Internment Camp while discovering how Japanese Americans grew and stored their food supply. To culminate the week's activities, along with some grandparents and parents, the class summited Heart Mountain! Thank you to our partners, volunteers, teachers, and Anne Young for sponsoring this class. The teachers had a wonderful week connecting with nature with hands on science.

June 13, 14, 15, 16, 2022 Cody Science Kids, joined by Wyoming Mountain Guides, students had the opportunity to rock climb on limestone cliffs that are 500 million years old. They focused on three main goals: safety, sustainability, and supporting themselves and each other. Along with improving their rock climbing skills, the students learned about the importance of the Leave No Trace principles. Each student had the chance to climb three different routes, practice knot making, and act out a skit about one of the principles of Leave No Trace. The class also focused on bridges, diversions, and dams along the Shoshone River. The Hayden Bridge Road offered many opportunities to explore geological and historical perspectives. While exploring the Southfork side of Cedar Mountain the class located an abundance of wildflowers and several teepee rings. On the final day, the class hiked the Northfork side of Cedar Mountain to the Spirit Mountain Cave where they were able to cool off and explore the cave. A great big thank you to our partners and sponsors for making this class possible.
