Students will explore the ECO Center wetlands to obtain information about Earth and its' attributes. They will investigate the different non-living materials (soil, rocks, water, and air) that are present in a wetland, describe their differences, and group the elements based on their characteristics and physical attributes. The students will also use this time of exploration to compare and contract characteristics of living and non-living organisms, and will sort different object into groups based on their features. After hands-on exploration in the wetland, students will move into the ECO Center to embark on a scavenger hunt of animals. They will then be challenged to group the different animals based on similar characteristics. Free for all.
