Taking the Classroom Outdoors? Yes!
Next Hike Date: October 13 , 2009 - Rain or Shine!

Each Fall and Spring we go into the Great Outdoors for a day of science hiking. We travel to the other side of the Mississippi River in Illinois, and hike in the wilds of Fall Creek Gorge. Besides having fun with science and math in nature, we carry data sheets on clipboards and write down visual, sound, and touch observations, as well as measurements and sketches (no tasting!). This reminds us of the journey of Lewis and Clark.
