A.B.C.’s of a Wetland! 4th & 5th Grade
Pre-Trip to Your Classroom:
Your field trip will begin with a virtual presention via Zoom in your classroom. A naturalist will visit your classroom virtually and engage your students with an interactive slide show to prepare your students for thier in-person field trip to Middle Harbor Shoreline Park. Your naturalist will review key concepts and vocabulary such as the non-living (abiotic), living (biotic) and cultural components of the San Francisco Bay and some history of the Port of Oakland. Your students will be excited for their field trip and understand what to expect for thier field tirp and how to stay safe during their field trip.
Field Trip to Middle Harbor:
Your students will engage directly in science and anthropology by “taking stock” of the shoreline the day of your visit. Students will collect and test water, observe creatures that live in the mud through magiscopes, scout the park for old and new built structures, and practice caring for their environment. This interdisciplinary program explores how the living, non-living, and cultural components of the San Francisco Bay relate to each other in the context of stewardship.
