A Sample
of
Nature's Classroom Special Interest Programming |
 |
| |
This list is an EXAMPLE
of classes that might be offered to students in a group requiring nine of our instructors.
The specific classes offered vary with the time of year, location, current Nature's
Classroom instructors, and the goals that the visiting school wishes to achieve.
The two-volume
curriculum text for Nature's Classroom, And This Our Life, and
its unpublished appendices, contain over 500 hands-on science, math,
humanities, and social studies lesson plans with follow-up activities
for use in the schoolroom as well as references for further
investigation.
