Class Description
This course combines field natural history with substantial individual or small group projects. We began with nuances of field observations and studies. Students got guidance on using field identification resources.
The class went over the fundamental importance of spring in the life cycles of living plants, animals, and other living groups. Their backyards, neighborhoods, as well as close-by parks, woodland, and wetland resources, provided focal points for students to document the coming of spring. With their teacher, they chose a project subject or theme to focus upon and document it with intensive field note observations, small-scale studies, field identification and observation, illustration, photography, or other mutually agreed forms of interpretation and expression.
