Session 6 - Back to Stephen's Creek

We hiked down to Stephen's Creek and the students were able to test their field science skills by conducting a transect of the park with PVC quadrants. They used a symbol key to document what types of plants were in their squares and even came up with a few new codes to describe different plants and objects. It was interested to see how much has changed since our last visit five weeks ago. We also reviewed 'KWL' - what I KNOW, what I WANT to know, and what I LEARNED before headed back to school. Great job guys!

Here are the class photos for weeks 3 to 6 including creating the mason bee nests, native plant observations, forestry reward relay, erosion/raindrop game, and the final hike.
