Here Learn about our antlered Arkansas mammals, the Rocky Mountain Elk and the White-tailed Deer. They will also measure the antlers of deer using a version of the Boone and Crockett scoring method to compare and contrast different factors involved in growth and health of antlered animals. Students will be introduced to different cave formations and inhabitants that live beneath us. Participants will journey from the entrance through the twilight zone and into the variable and constant temperature zones to discover the exciting world of bats and caves. The Water Ecology class explores how the water cycle affects lakes, springs, and streams, as well as the interrelationships between plants, animals, macro invertebrates, people, and physical features.
Students predict, observe, and classify components of water ecology.
This class increases awareness of the role of water ecosystems in our world. Wildlife Wildlife explores the diverse animals that inhabit Arkansas' forests, fields, and cities. As stewards and caretakers of the earth, students realize the important role and responsibilities they have as being the top animal. Ecosystems and habitats are heavily emphasized in this class. Live animals are available for students to view and identify.
