Program Levels:
Course Types:
Explore the daily and seasonal cycles in nature by examining the effects on plants and wildlife.
Students will learn to explain and recognize daily and seasonal changes that occur in the world as a result of natural cycles while hiking through various habitats. Students will take part in active games, observe, investigate and discuss changes that may be expected daily and seasonally.
Preparation:
A pre-visit discussion, on appropriate dress for various weather conditions, would tie in perfectly with the theme of this program! Programs always have an outdoor component. Groups should dress for the conditions on the day of their visit. Before your visit, please discuss the importance of dressing appropriately for outdoor activities. On days of inclement weather the program will be modified to include some indoor activities along with the outdoor components.
