In the classroom, 4th and 5th grade students learn what a wetland is, some of the different forms of wetlands, and typical wetland plants and animals. The program is concluded with a wetlands field trip that tests their classroom studies. Students visit several natural and man-made wetlands. This team approach encourages students to collectively use their wetlands knowledge. These students will be able to determine a wetland by the plants and animals found.
Students also begin to understand the significance of Florida's wetlands to the environment.
