We had an amazing trip to Bushy Hill last week. The kids explored pond life from the micro organisms that can only be seen with a microscope to the very visible and lively animals that call the pond their home. First we got to see the hidden life in a drop of pond water using the bioscope. It was quite eye opening! Then we headed out to the Cedar swamp and learned how to identify some local trees and explore the swamp habitat. Finally, we headed out to the pond and used nets to catch some pond life. We found tadpoles, dragonfly nymphs, and salamanders. We all had a blast and the kids worked well together while learning and exploring. It was a great day!
