Campus Tour for Backyard Habitats
Freshmen in Experimental Science 1 took a "Campus Tour" that focused on the importance of habitats on campus and home.

Slogging in the Glades
All 9th grade magnet students spent the day at Holiday Park experience in the Everglades Up Close and Personal.
After a brief explanation of how every is affected by climate change because they are "connected," students spent some of the day in different activities: riding in an airboat, testing the water at different locations, dipping invertebrates from the water and "slogging" through waist-high water.More photos in FIELD TRIPS.

Gardenology 2.0:
Planting Edible Gardens
Students in Honor Expeimental Science got down and dirty learning about sustainable gardening on school campus. The freshmen created above-ground garden beds and used appropriate soil for edible plants.
Throughout the year they will maintain the gardens with companion plants added. Students will enjoy the mature plant and enjoy the "fruits of their labor."
