SMART Summer Tuesdays: Dissect a (paper) Frog!

Get ready for a summer of curiosity, creativity, and just the right amount of mess with our Science Experiment Tuesdays series!

Each week, kids will take part in a new hands-on experiment while learning how to think like real scientists. Through exploring, estimating, observing, and drawing conclusions, participants will be guided through the scientific method in a way that’s fun, engaging, and easy to understand. Best of all, all the mess stays here. Parents can relax knowing the cleanup is handled. This is the perfect place for kids to get a little messy while learning something seriously cool.

Bring your curiosity and get ready to experiment!

This week we’re getting froggy with a hands-on adventure into frog anatomy!

Participants will explore the inner workings of a frog in a fun, mess-free “dissection” experience. Using a pre-cut paper frog model created with the Cricut machine, kids will build their frog piece by piece, uncovering its internal systems as they go. Along the way, they’ll discover what each part does and how everything works together to help frogs survive, move, and thrive in the wild. As they assemble their frogs, participants will explore basic anatomy in an engaging, age-appropriate way, identifying organs, learning how body systems connect, and seeing science come to life through hands-on creation.

It’s part craft, part science, and all discovery, making learning feel exciting, interactive, and unforgettable!
