First SEEDS4: Nature Detectives field trip today! We had about 96 4th graders from one of our local partner schools come out to learn about being nature detectives! They learned about abiotic factors at my station- "wind, rain, and clouds" and made their own observations about wind speed, cloud types, and temperature. Several of the students said that this was their favorite station and they were surprised at how much fun it was!!
We had a super nifty "choose your own adventure" style wind speed key and cloud identification chart, which made it super fun and easy for the kids to make their observations. They were all really excited about getting to use the thermometers themselves and were quick to offer up answers to my questions, even if they had no idea what the actual answer was. A few students came up with some really awesome and out of the box answers that I hadn't even thought to mention- like the fact that some animals change color with the seasons. I always tell the kids, that with so much neatness in the world, there is always room to learn more about just how neat nature is!
How neat is that?!
