Spring Zenger Farms Field Trip

On April 30th, the students of Room 24 went on their final field trip to Zenger Farm.  This was an incredible experience for the students!  We walked the half mile to Zenger in BEAUTIFUL weather and they worked hard all day long.

They started the day learning about why the SEASONS of the year happen by dressing up as the SUN and the EARTH and displaying how the Earth orbits and has a tilt that impacts seasons.

They next went to a station where they practice their scientific inquiry skills by seeing how the wind effects a wind vane.  They made predictions about the wind vane, made a wind vane, observed, and recorded data, then came up with a conclusion.

Finally in the afternoon, the students did their service work.  They moved compost piles, plowed a section of a garden, and created compost piles.  It was great to see the students give back to the farm that has given them so much knowledge throughout the year!
