We're Back!!!

What a great time we had at Bradford Woods!!! It's such a great place to learn, and that's exactly what the kids did while we were there. There was not only environmental learning taking place, but also a lot of team building and cooperation in order to accomplish tasks. There was also a lot of fun -- the canoe activity was a lot of fun for the teachers to watch!

In class today, we are winding up our study of natural resources by doing a mining activity. The kids each had a mine and had to be careful when mining in order to not incur any fines. We will finish up the activity tomorrow by calculating how much money the students made.

Here is a fun coal mining webquest to try:
