Participants will get a chance to see what great learning adventures the activity-based field trips at Lyon Arboretum can be. Help your students discover the parts of a plant, from top to bottom. With literature and hands on activities, students discover an understanding of plants as living organisms. Many fun and exciting classroom activities will be shared.
Students dig up weeds, sprout seeds, and explore the ways plants are alike and different.
During this workshop we will preview classroom activites and field trip experiences. Please dress comfortably for outside activities. Limit 15 teachers, registration required. Introduce your students to the plants and animals in the Hawaiian rainforest and explore the relationships in a Hawaiian forest community. Sudents can create a rainforest mural, model the effects of insects eating plants , observe interactions in the forest, explore plant defenses and create a newscast from the forest.
