In this experience, a “double circle” with an outer circle facing “inside” and an inner circle facing “outside” provides an interactive space for NatureBridge students to briefly exchange answers to a range of questions about each other’s preferences...
Students will try strategies to safeguard their “nests” from predators and learn the importance food, water, shelter, and space in this active game. This activity is very similar to Jays and Juncos, but debriefed differently.
Students will be involved in an active simulation of populations in this activity. By becoming part of the “ecosystem,” students can see how populations of different organisms change over time, and in relation to each other.
This activity shows the relationship between a predator (jay) and prey (junco) as students play a fun active game. The students will understand how one population affects another.
This guided inquiry allows students to hypothesize and collect data on the movement of their shadows throughout the day. Students can infer the path of the sun and discuss the earth’s rotation and orbit.
Students reenact the passing of the Yosemite Grant Act when it was in the Senate. The script is taken directly from the dialogue that occurred in May 1864.
