Nature’s Needs

Students will have the opportunity to use their scientific skills to discover nature’s different needs! Students will investigate the needs of plants, animals, and humans and examine where they go if they cannot find what they need to survive.

Next Generation State Science Standards

K-LS1-1: Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.

K-ESS3-1: Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live.

Weather…You are Ready or Not!

Ready or not, weather is coming! Students will have an opportunity to learn about weather and how to be prepared for a day of outdoor learning! Throughout the program, students will investigate the sun’s role in our changing weather, connect weather with seasons, and explore ways that humans can prepare for the weather, even when it is severe.

Next Generation State Science Standards

K-PS3-1: Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth’s surface.

K-ESS2-1: Use and share observation of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.

K-ESS3-2: Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
