Micro-Hike at Burr Oaks
Description
Sometimes the most interesting things in nature are found right beneath our feet! We will use hand lenses and other simple equipment to investigate the structures and behaviors of tiny plants and animals on the forest floor. As we explore these mini-worlds students will discover patterns that help us understand how these animals are all connected and how they survive in their environment.
