Refuge Field Trip-Biome Study

Short Description:
  Students can use the Refuge to sharpen their knowledge of basic field study techniques and use of simple scientific instruments by conducting an inventory of a study quadrat in one or more of the biomes on the Refuge. Teachers and parents who participate in a one day orientation can receive a permit to conduct biome studies on the Refuge. All necessary field equipment is available for use by permitted educators. A limited amount of staff time is available for classroom visits prior to conducting the biome study. The program currently meets a minimum of 12 NM benchmarks for science education at the elementary school level. This program has been used successfully with students from 2nd - 10th grades.
