Insect Adventures for Second Graders

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary鈥檚 Second Grade Insect Adventure Program teaches students about the fascinating world of the many insects that call the Sanctuary their home.  Experienced educators and 探花精选 naturalists cover important concepts such as habitat, interdependence, and adaptation as they lead students along a specially constructed trail through a pine upland area, with activity and experiment stations spaced along the way.

Students also travel a portion of the boardwalk, where they apply classroom and activity station knowledge to the larger Corkscrew ecosystem. All activities are linked to the Sunshine State鈥檚 second-grade curriculum standards.

Teachers will receive an educator manual containing information to help prepare students for the field trip, including suggested pre- and post-trip classroom activities.
