Schlitz Audubon Nature Center

We had the perfect weather for our field trip to Schlitz Audubon Nature Center for the program "Water, We Can't Live Without It!" Our guides also incorporated much of the other science learning we have done this year. Here are lots of pictures from our trip!

a ball-tossing game to show the Earth's surface is more water than land

an evaporation experiment

other experiments to show "transpiration" -- leaves giving off water

hiking toward the tower

only part-way up the 60-foot tower

looking down from the middle of the tower

We were as tall as the trees!

Thank you to Schlitz Audubon Nature Center and our guides! We can't wait to come back!
