Since the fall of 1992, The Discovery Room has been a rewarding and exciting place where students from Eccles Elementary School come once each month to learn about natural and physical science and the environment.

Each month students from the elementary school come to the Discovery Room for 1.5 to 2 hours of fun, hands on science instruction. During the time they spend in the Discovery Room, students learn about the local environment and the organisms that live there. Students also learn how human interactions with the environment and the plants and animals living in these ecosystems are all connected.

Our last program of the year is a fieldtrip for the 1 st through 6 th grades and focuses on shorebirds and their yearly migration through the Copper River Delta on their way to other parts of Alaska for breeding.
