Life Cycles Biology Field Trip - May 22 Class

As ‘Biologists,’ students conduct life cycle field investigations in a creek and on land, they collect animals, measure water/air temperature and measure the length of animals from the creek. To collect animals, students wade into Mountain Creek while wearing rubber boots. In the park lab, these animals are made larger than life with the park microscopes. Emphasis is on classifying and comparing animals according to life cycle stages, metamorphosis, and the need for habitat in all stages of life.

Program was designed for 2nd grade, but from experience last year students both a little younger, & a little younger, could still get a lot out of it. I believe our oldest kids last year were about 5th-6th, and youngers were in Kindergarten.  Younger siblings are allowed, but kids ages 2 & over will have to pay for a spot, even if they're just along for the ride.
