The Burlington Science Center has a very interesting interactive bear exhibit in our hallway this week. We did a fun scavenger hunt today to learn all about bears. Check out the photos of our class and some of the neat things we learned.

We made connections to bears in movies, tv shows, commercials, sports, books, etc. Can you figure out who these bears are? |

Tyson and Atharve examined the different parts of the baby bear and figured out why it is in a tree. |
