Everyone was excited about catching this fence lizard in one of the buckets. As we moved on down the fence, we found this beautiful scarlet king snake. These snakes don't grow very large and are often mistaken for coral snakes. You used these viewers to see things up close such as the wood roach and centipede. Someone spotted this little green anole as we were walking down the path.
Green anoles change colors - depending on temperature and mood.
This wetland activity gave you an idea just how important these habitats are to our local ecosystem. Waders 2 - Even though the waders were a little big for a fourth grader, they worked great for going in the water and pulling traps. Putting the fish in ziplock bags gave you a chance to see them more closely so you could identify them. You used these field guides to identify the plants and animals you found. This gave you a chance to keep a record of how many different kinds of living things you saw on your trip.
