SUMMARY:5th Grade (GVL): Roper Mtn Science Center
DESCRIPTION:5th graders (GVL Campus) are invited to attend a field trip at Roper Mountain Science Center (RMSC)! \nField Trip Info: \nConservation Cadets: Using interactive Enviroscape models\, students will discover how human impacts such as lawn fertilizer\, litter\, and even your own dogs waste can affect our land and water. With our augmented reality sandboxes\, students will also shape and create landforms that impact our environment. Students will walk away from this lesson as Conservation Cadets with solutions to help protect our Earth! \nEco Detectives: Students will become wildlife biologists as they examine mystery skulls\, scats\, and dissected owl pellets of animals in our local ecosystems. Hands-on activities will be used to infer what kind of consumers live in our ecosystems and what they depend upon for food. \nChaperones are needed for this trip and will be chosen by timestamp based on sign ups!

SUMMARY:3rd Grade: Roper Mountain Science Center
DESCRIPTION:3RD GRADE ROPER MOUNTAIN SCIENCE CENTER FIELD TRIP -Natural Science Discovery \nAll 3rd graders are invited to attend a field trip at Roper Mountain Science Center! \nDiscover the Following:  \nTerrific Traits – Through handling and closely examining a variety of live animals\, students will discover ways in which these unique organisms have special traits that help them survive in their environments. \nFossils: As paleontologists\, students will observe mystery fossils to learn about life in our ancient past. Students will examine fossil specimens\, hunt for marine fossils in our fossil pit and visit our dinosaur trail. \nSurvivor: “The tribe has spoken…” Which animals have what it takes to thrive on islands? Through hands on games and activities\, students will learn about unique traits as well as difficult challenges that animals face that could determine whether or not they thrive\, struggle\, or fail to survive.
