Billie Swamp Safari/Museum
Juniors in the Cambridge Global Perspectives class spent an entire day on the Seminole Reservation to learn the Native Americans' history and culture.
Students were split into two groups to participate in activities, switching places after lunch so everyone saw everything. One group studied the wildlife on the preserve riding in swamp buggies. Then they participated in the animal show before watching the venomous snake presentation.
The other group first toured the Ah-Tha-Thi-Ki Museum, saw a video about Seminole history and then took a nature walk showing plants the Seminole continue to use in their daily lives. More photos in FIELD TRIPS.

Going Slogging:
No Gators
All 9th grade magnet students in Experimental Science 1 spent the day at Holiday Park experiencing the Everglades Up Close and Personal.
After a brief explanation of how everyone is "affected so they are connected," students spent the day in different activities: riding in an airboat, testing water quality at different locations, dip netting for invertebrates and "slogging" through the slough. Photos in FIELD TRIPS.

Gardenology 2.0: Planting Edible Gardens
Students in the Honors Experimental Science got down and dirty learning about sustainable gardening on campus. Freshmen created above-ground garden beds and used appropriate soil for edible plants.
Throughout the year they maintained the gardens while adding compani9on plants. Students enjoyed the mature plants as they ate the "fruits of their labor."

Working for a Return to Campus
Taking a break from being online, faculty and staff brave the heat to clean up campus before the students return.
Several times they traded in their computer mice for the weed-wacker as they removed invasive Brazilian peppers from taking over the habitat of native plants.
Cindy Griffin from the district office continued to work with the horticulture and magnet areas. Magnet coordinator and Janos clean out the flower and vegetable gardens.

Learning online in research combines practice with the video lessons.
Learning to Fish Ethically
Before Covid precautions, freshmen used their skills at Heritage Park.
Magnet freshmen learn how to fish legally using the Ethical Angling course. Before they practiced loading a hook and using a fishing rod and reel, they read about habitats, fish biology, responsible fishing practices. Hopefully, they will use their skills at Heritage lake, if not this year then next year.
The course was taught by professionals from the Youth Environmental Alliance (YEA!) with a grant from Fish Florida. More photos in COURSES.

Students practice (and keep) the fishing gear during class.
Drive-Thru Open House

As darkness approached, students and ER Ambassadors used solar power to share the magnet program's uniqueness with the visitors.
Wildlife biologist, Carey Holder teaches magnet Zoology and Cambridge (AICE) Biology while working with the Aquarium Club.
Student Government with other clubs and classes open to all students had displays at the event.
Before, Covid, students practiced small craft safety in their HOPE classes.
Off-Campus Learning in HOPE
Later in the year, all 9th grade magnet students spent one day at Broward College's Tigertail Lake to learn small craft and water safety skills.
All incoming magnet students' first field trip is at a pool for a swimming assessment and enhancement. At Tigertail they now faced open-water rescue since the Everglades is the River of Grass and many trips revolve around water. More photos in FIELD TRIPS.
