Program for Grades 5-8

Please note: Quests are not being offered for the 2015-2016 School Year

Desert plants and animals display a fascinating variety of adaptations that help them thrive here. Enhance your field trip for grades 3-5 with a field investigation to explore how plants and animals deal with the temperature extremes and aridity of their desert home. Armed with a backpack of supplies and scientific equipment, student teams follow clues to museum locations and complete activities to explore plant and animal adaptations. Your quest wraps up with expert team reports and a live animal presentation.
