Habitat Detectives Field Day
Grades: K-3
Seasons: Fall, Spring
Can you find the five features of an animals habitat? Develop your detective skills as we head out on the trails to discover signs of wildlife and explore the places animals call home. We’ll use hand lenses and other naturalist tools to compare the creatures we find on land to those that live in our river. Using our naturalist senses and artistic creativity we’ll explore plants and animals of our local habitats and those from places far away.
Next Generation Science Standards:
- K-LS1-1. Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.
- 2-LS4-1. Make Observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
Full-day Field Days run five hours (9am-2pm), with a 30-minute lunch. Half-day Field Days are also available which run 2.5 hours or under.
