The festivities kick off on April 17th and continue through the following weekend. Highlights include special on-floor programs, a return one-week engagement of Fragile Planet in the Morrison Planetarium, a wide-variety of hands on activities and a very special partnership with the Giants and PG&E at AT&T Park on 4/25. There’s also a special NightLife celebration on 4/22 that will include sustainable games, solar panel demonstrations and more!

• How can little children help the earth? Children love to sort things, so for the entire week the Cove will have a special game that teaches children how to sort waste into the blue, green and black bins.

The Academy’s Penguin Feeding, Coral Reef Dive, Swamp, Live Birds of Prey, Shark & Ray Feeding, and Live Snake Demonstration programs from 4/17-4/25 will highlight important conservation messages.

Special Google Earth Exploration programs at Science in Action will show how scientists, researchers, and every day people can use this innovative software to better understand and conserve our planet.
