Students will be divided into three groups and will perform environmental sampling at 3 stations. At each sample station, about 10 minutes will be spent making the observations, and another 25 minutes will be available for 3 of the following activities:

1. Field:  Osprey Game, Alligator Game or Scrub Jay Game - students role play to discover how this wildlife survives
2. Forest or Scrub:  Nature Walk – learn about the native and exotic plants and animals that live here
3. Coast:  Shoreline Exploration – walk along the low tide line and learn about the watershed

        Hammock: Water Wonders - students become water droplets and journey through the water cycle
  4.  Middle or High School can substitute Water Quality monitoring for any of the above activities
