Skills of scientific inquiry are emphasized. Dynamic Earth Creature Feature Fifth Grade Programs illustrate the transfer and transformation of energy in forests, creeks, and other natural systems. Students practice the process skills of data collection and interpretation. The three-day Earth Ranger Academy focuses on ecosystems. The Academy is designed to be the culminating experience for the elementary life sciences.
Shorter programs explore ecological concepts.
Students strengthen observation, communication, data collection, and interpretation skills. Balance is due on the day of the program. The Campbell Creek Science Center provides quality outdoor learning experiences for students of all ages. The Science Center serves as a regional resource for scientific inquiry into natural resource topics. The Center is operated by the Bureau of Land Management with assistance from its many partners and volunteers.
