Field Trips

This should be a list of examples of experiences on or off site…

Saving Species– Let’s look at animal adaptations, identification, and classification by getting up close to some of our ambassador animals from the Cibolo Center for Conservation. Develop your observation skills while doing ethograms in different habitats found on your campus. Learn how you can make a difference by uploading photos to iNaturalist.  

Tiny Perfect Things Art in Nature –Take a walk around your campus to see how nature truly is all around. Look for the little pieces of nature to help you create a beautiful work of art and a story to go along with it. Dive into the science of chromatography and learn how leaves change color. Use programs like iNaturalist and eBird to log what you see. (Will encapsulate art and creative writing)    

Climate Change Challenge– Human activity is changing the face of our planet and affecting our climate. Through hands-on experiments and activities, we will gain a better grasp of what climate change is and how we can help slow down the effects we have on it. Practice monitoring the weather and learn how to become involved with the Community Collaborative of Rain, Hail, and Snow Network with NOHA and upload your weather data for everyday use by meteorologists, agriculturists, and others.  

Microscopic World –Jump behind the lens of a pocket microscope and explore your school grounds. Learn about the nature that is all around us, even in the smallest of ways. Use iNaturalist to record some of your findings. We’ll use a magnifying glass to take a closer look at the creek water brought to your campus. We can even compare the life found in the creek water to any water we find around your campus.
