They also conduct various animal behavior projects and complete a comprehensive packet of writing and inquiry activities. The success of the program relates directly to its hands-on approach. They get a chance to be directly involved in replicating an ecosystem and experience all of the challenges that it creates to make it a viable one. Basic life and physical science concepts are modeled and explored. There are many uses of integrated curriculum plus this has built an excellent partnership with the Department of Fish and Game.
Students continue to show a high level of enthusiasm and attachment to the program.
It is a joy to watch them dedicate and commit themselves to such a positive learning project. Copyright 1998 by the California Continuation Education Association.
