Through this lesson, students will build a machine to test air quality.

Identify different types of soil, what resides in it, and some of the benefits/restrictions of different types of soil

Practice observing and graphing data to predict shadow length.

Students measure the effects of different amounts of water on plants (grown from seeds or starts)

Students explore watershed science through hands-on activities involving design, building, and critical thinking.

Parents can expect students to spend reflective alone time outside and practice listening and mapping the sounds they hear around them.

Through this lesson students will be able to identify and classify common rocks in their ecosystem by using their sense of observation.

Collect cool critters and take a closer look. Investigate how they stay alive in nature and compare the niches they fill.

Students will dig in different areas of soil to investigate the relationship between location and the number of macroinvertebrates (bugs).

Explore what makes up an ecosystem and ponder how we humans connect to the systems around us.
