Swan Lake Field Trip

Hello, 5B families!

We had a wonderful morning at Swan Lake that started with listening to a barred owl hooting to welcome us! Then we enjoyed a one-hour geology lesson that included acting as “rock detectives” and handling some fascinating fossils. After that, we toured the Nature House galleries and observed the plants and birds while strolling near the lake. We hope you enjoy these photos that will tell the story of our learning today…

Here is an interesting discovery we enjoyed while walking the trails: evidence of beavers at work!

This is the charming rock cycle song we enjoyed today:

And here are some videos that review the new information we learned today about the different types of fossils…
