Home school program for grades 3-5, November 14, 12-1:30 pm
Orienteering: Geography in the Garden
Explore
topography by using maps and other geographic tools that assist with
the navigation and interpretation of the Garden’s section of the Earth’s
surface. Age appropriate activities challenge students to apply basic
mapping skills as well as utilize geographic tools and technologies to
locate specific areas in the Garden.
Grades 3-5: Students compare different types of maps. They create a map as a group and practice map reading skills before completing an orienteering course in small groups.
Fee: Members $8, Non-members $10 (includes all materials and supplies)
Reservations required. For reservation information and payment options, click here.
All
of our new homeschool options align with curricula for K–2, 3–5, and
6-8. Each program uses the Garden’s 120 acres of developed and natural
areas as a teaching classroom, while connecting to National Education
Standards and the Alabama Course of Study.
