EXHIBITION LIVE CRITTERS!
The Live Critters! exhibition presents roughly forty living frogs, turtles, grass snakes and fish in a new aquatic setting. It is the perfect place to see close up the species that we can find in our region, and learn when and where we can spot them in nature. Like all exhibitions produced by the Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science, Live Critters! also offers interactive activities adapted for families and programs designed for different age groups.
The visit of the exhibition Live Critters! is absolutely free!

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
All ELEMENTARY CYCLES
Little Marsh Monsters
Are you familiar with the salamanders, frogs, turtles, and snakes that live in the Estrie region? There are many amphibians and reptiles, and some of them dwell at the Maison de l’eau. Young people will discover the differences between these two groups of animals and will have an opportunity to touch some of them. If time permits, we’ll go off in search of them on the trails in Lucien-Blanchard Park.
ELEMENTARY CYCLE 1
URBAN JUNGLE
As cities become ever bigger, some animals have to learn how to live alongside us. The students will become observers and track down some of our furry and feathery neighbours. If time permits, the students will go off in search of the traces that some of them may have left along the trails.
DAY CAMPS AND DAY-CARE CENTRES
AGES 5-10
BUGS, BUGS EVERYWHERE!
Insects are so small that sometimes we forget they exist! What are their roles? How do they manage to be so inconspicuous? If time permits, the children will head out in teams, equipped with nets, to hunt insects and try to identify their catches before releasing them.
AGES 7-11
FISHING STORY
In a fun-filled atmosphere, the children will learn how to use a fishing rod, as well as how to identify some of the fish species that live in the Magog River.
ENIGMATIC CREATURE
At night fall, unexplained phenomena take place at the Maison de l’eau. A stange creature spreads mystery. Young detectives are needed! Are their senses sharp enough to discover what this strange creature looks like? Can they decipher the clues? A great challenge!
