5th Grade Trip to Coolcrest and Martha Lafite Nature Center

At Coolcrest, we had a blast using our knowledge of pendulums, force, and angles of reflection to negotiate the holes on the various courses.  We might have some future PGA golfers on our hands.  J


Martha Lafite Nature Center (Liberty)-We began with some background information about streams from one of the naturalists.  We also met a box turtle and a painted water turtle.  Next, we hiked to Rush Creek where we used nets to capture any wildlife we could find.  The naturalist explained all of the creatures we captured.  Then they were released back into their habitat.  The students learned a lot about teamwork and stealth when it came to catching wildlife. :)  Some of the creatures we caught were tadpoles, minnows, crawdads, frogs, and a water scorpion.
