Exploring Habitats (3rd Grade Field Trip)

Exploring Habitats program description

From the riparian woodland to the saltmarsh lagoon, students will explore the unique habitats of the San Elijo Lagoon ecosystem. Using important scientific skills, including observations and experimentation, students will have an opportunity to discover the variety of plant + animal species that call San Elijo Lagoon home.

 

Immersive experiences for every student

Inspire your class when they engage with nature—and extend their excitement to their community and beyond. We collaborate with school districts and teachers to provide NGSS-aligned, hands-on opportunities to learn in and from nature. Students connect with local natural spaces, experience and develop science skills, and become empowered to protect and care for the environment via their own communities.

 

How our programs work

Nature Collective/Our programs bridge classroom and nature-based learning with pre and post activities that support and extend the field trip experience. Students are able to make connections to their own lives and communities, while they practice science skills and explore diverse plants + animals. Programs culminate with student action projects that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration to promote healthy communities and natural spaces, for all.
