Our Field Trip

We had a wonderful field trip to the Walled Lake Outdoor Education Center today! 

The weather was perfect and we had two wonderful science lessons about camouflage and about organic and inorganic materials. We worked with partners to camouflage some potato "animals" and hid them from each other.

We were able to look at and touch animal skins to see how the fur blends in with the environment. 

 We hiked in the woods to collect organic material (leaves, sticks, bark) and then rubbed them against a screen to create dirt. This was a very hands on activity for us!

We stopped by the garden to look for living creatures and saw some insects. 

We ended our morning by eating lunch together! It was a perfect day for all of us!

We are so appreciative of the WL Foundation for Excellence for granting us a mini-grant to help with the cost of this field trip.
