Habitat Sweet Home

Kansas is our habitat sweet home and all living things need a place to live where they’ll be comfortable, have food and water, and be safe. For you - it’s your home, the place where you sleep at night, and the place you feel safe. In this program you'll learn how wildlife has adapted to nature. 

In the animal world, feet are used to walk, paddle, swim, jump, cling, hold, dig, keep warm, stay cool—feet do all these things and more. Feet come in many shapes and sizes. The way feet look and the way they work are related to what they do. You'll put your best foot forward to see if you can survive like the animals do.

Bugs are everywhere! They are found on every continent- in every place! Some bugs are big, others are small! Learn about some of the fascinating insects found in Kansas as you get hands on to discover how bugs are important, they’re very cool, and we need to protect them!

Get up close and personal with some of the wildlife that people love to hate. They are creepy, they are stinky, they are often misunderstood. This program encourages respect for wildlife that is helping make our world a safer place.

    Everything in nature has a special sound including you! You are making music just sitting here. Your heart is beating like a drum. Animals make sounds for many reasons: if they are hurt, to call for help, to scare off predators, to warn other animals, to find food, to find their mom!
