Trinity Audubon Center--Field Trip

At the beginning of the week our fifth graders had the opportunity to take a Field Trip to the Trinity Audubon Center in Dallas.  They were quite excited to see many of the things that we had been studying in Science out in real life :)  They identified decomposers, interactions of living things in their environments, overpopulation of algae, two biomes (grasslands and deciduous forest), organisms competing for survival, adaptations, and alternative energy sources to name a few.  The students had a blast, and even though we were all exhausted from walking the trails, I feel as though they were able to apply a lot of their in class learning to our hiking experience.  Here are some photos of our adventure.
