Ponds & Streams:
During this field trip kids examine the flora and fauna found in ponds and streams
and examine their connection to the
forest and wetland ecology.
Food Webs &
Biodiversity: During this field trip kids
discover the interdependence of living things while on a hike through the
woods and
investigate what lives in the forest, ponds and
streams. The field trip ends with a food-web craft.
Paleontology:
During this field trip kidslearn about
fossils and dig for bones at our realistic dig site. The field trip ends
with kids making a fossil of their own.
Math in the Natural
World: During this field trip students will sharpen their skills in
estimation, strength of shapes, geometry, measurement, and basic math skills.
Students will examine patterns in the environment and examine the Fibonacci
sequence and its connection to nature. Kids examine animal artifacts and
take a hike in the woods to look at math in nature.
Entomology:
During this field trip kids learn how insects fit
into a variety of food chains. Search for different species and make your
own field guide about the insects you found.
Live
Animal Show:
During this field trip kids Interact with live lizards, turtles, and other
animals. Learn about
conservation efforts, diet, and the important niches these organisms
fill.
Naturalist
Hike: During this field trip kids take a
guided hike to explore for insects and other living things while focusing on
observation skills and using their senses. Learning about nature starts with
observation and questioning.
Forensics: During this
field trip kids investigate the fundamentals of forensics, collect evidence,
and make conclusions to solve a crime.
Soil Science:During this
field trip kids explore the interdependence of soils, plants, and animals.
Kids learn about decomposers and the nitrogen cycle. Kids learn what soil is
and how it becomes soil.
Geology:
During this field trip kids conduct simple
experiments to investigate chemical and physical weathering. Kids examine
rock, soil, and fossil samples to discover what they tell us about Earth.
