Experiments

Come Learn, Create, and Enjoy Science through Fun, Interactive, and Imaginative activities at the Fog Willow Science Farm. *Several new experiments and activities!!*

Spring means science here at Fog Willow Farms. The best way to learn science is to feel it, touch it, and smell it. Each class will participate in a 90 minute excursion comprised of a short general assembly and three private, instructed, hands-on curriculum based experiments and activities. Each student will take home a project they've created at the Science Farm. After the tour, stay and enjoy your bag lunch under the shaded grove of oak trees and visit the animals. Call (916) 687-4547 to reserve your field trip.
