Growth & Change in the Natural World

Your class will discover the diversity of life with an outdoor experience designed to examine the basic needs and characteristics of animals and plants. What makes up a healthy environment? How does nature recycle everything? Students will investigate the similarities and differences between various groups of species. What is adaption and how does it help an individual species survive? Young scientists will investigate these questions in a field study using sweepnets to take a look at life in a field.
