In this session of JAM, participants will learn how to identify and name common trees in the Kansas City Metro using the characteristics of leaf shape and arrangement, tree bark, and shape of the canopy.  Weather permitting, participants will practice their identification skills in the wetland area of the Museum or indoors using images arranged on a Powerpoint presentation.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

  • Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

  • Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
