Module can include an optional conservation project. Instincts For Survival Students participate in a survival simulation game. Students assume roles of animals, and how they choose to play out the role determines the outcome of the game. Through an in-depth discussion students gain an understanding of food chains and webs and of other factors relating to animal survival and adaptation. This is a special time of year when the sap starts to run in the maple trees.
Students have the chance to tap trees and learn about the process involved with producing syrup.
Available February and March only. This module emphasizes observation, identification, function, and appreciation of wildflowers. Similarities and differences in local wildflowers are discussed. Students use a hand lens, field guides, clue charts, and perhaps their artistic ability to aid in their investigation. Available Fall and Spring only.
