Delaware Hike 2004

"Exploring local areas"

The students at Elementary Workshop Montessori School have an overnight trip to the Ashland Nature Center. These are a few pictures from this year's trip - we thought it would fit in the Hike the World Section of YouthCaN.

The first picture is of the students having their lesson. They are learning about how to find insects and amphibians at the edge of the creek.

The second pictures is of the students with their nature center leader collecting insect samples. They then placed their samples in a small pool that they had brought along with them. They were looking for diversity as well as observing how they moved.

The third picture shows the students from EWMS practicing archeological skills.

The one shows the boys looking under a rotting log for insects. The website for the place the class visits is www.delawarenaturesociety.org.
