3rd Grade Field Trip to the Discovery Center

The rain did not dampen the excitement on our first field trip of the year!  We learned about the structures that MO animals and plants have that help them survive certain conditions.  Our Conservation Agent let us explore various skulls, hides, and live animals.  I think the highlight of the trip was when the students used all of the knowledge they had learned to create a new species of animal.  I was impressed with the students’ teamwork and creative thinking skills.
