Wild Science!

Curriculum

Our goal is to provide a fun, enriching, hands-on science and art experience for all of our students.  The Tree Frog Treks program will have curriculum tailored to engage and challenge students.  Every class will begin with a “Mind Map” of what is to be taught for that particular lesson.  Every student will be taught how to think like a scientist and how to hone their own powers of observation through the active, hands-on method we call the OHECK boogie: Observation-Hypothesis-Experiment-Conclusion-Knowledge.  There will be many make-and-take projects that the students can bring home to help inspire more scientific inquiry and discussion with their friends and family.  At the end of every program we ask each student to take the “BILL” of rights to share what they know so others can grow. 

Students will have the opportunity to touch and feed live animals (when TFT visits), create and build simple machines and architectural phenomena, perform chemistry experiments, take things apart, run earth science simulations, hone their powers of observation by making sculptures, sketches and paintings, study physics in action, and be exposed to new breakthroughs in science.
