Despite the bad weather we managed to perform nature education day on Tuesday, 25^th March 2014,for groups Ladybugs (Pikapolonice) and Owls (Sovice) from kindergarten Vodmat, unit Klinični center.

To each group separately we presented two groups of freshwater inhabitants: freshwater invertebrates and amphibians. First children observed smaller freshwater inhabitants with a help of magnifying glass and stereo microscope. They learned we can use them fr evaluating the state of water bodies.

Then we presented several amphibian species, with and without a tail. Children could observe differences between a brown frog and a toad. They learned the cycle of amphibian development and why is tree frog so good at climbing. And for the end they got know a shy alpine newt.

Photos from the nature education day, co-financed by City of Ljubljana, are available in the gallery.
