Hands-On Science

Native Americans are an important part of our Thanksgiving celebrations. Learn about the original residents of Philadelphia and their reliance on local rivers and streams. We will learn about their culture, lifestyle and diet and about the local environment thousands of years before European settlers arrived. You can weave a mat of natural materials like the Lenni Lenape did!

(Sessions run every 30 minutes.)
