Field Experiences for Secondary School Students
Join us for half-day programs featuring treks to a variety of habitats, data collection, and hands on investigations. All programs are aligned with HCPSS science curriculum, Environmental Literacy Standards and Next Generation Science Standards and encourage children to become engaged, to explore, and to explain what they observe. The field experiences also serve as an extension of concepts presented in the classroom. Pre and post activities are provided to make the field experience truly meaningful!
