Cranbrook Institute of Science Visits Pattengill

On April 21, 2026, the Cranbrook Institute of Science visited Pattengill Kindergarten students for a Science on the Go program sponsored by the Pattengill PTA. The Cranbrook staff taught students ‘what makes an insect an insect’ and how insects differ from arachnids. Students also reviewed a collection of cockroaches and learned how important they are to the ecosystem and how they break down old food scraps. Students also saw a tarantula and learned about its body parts, habitats and impressive web-building skills.
