We are lucky to live in a place where nature surrounds us. After learning about the life cycle of plants and insects, we decided to hike the nature trail to see if we could find examples of what we were learning. We also were hoping to find some amphibians, since we'll be studying their life cycle next.
There were lots of insects, and we saw bees pollinating flowers, lots of examples of seed and fruit, and a few caterpillars. Mr. Soskil did find one frog, but it hopped away before we could catch it. We also found some different kinds of mushrooms. We learned that they aren't plants or animals, but are a kind of organism called "fungus." Since the 5th graders are learning about fungus, Mr. Soskil took a few mushrooms back to the science lab for them to study. Some pictures from our hikes are below.
