The Science Festival was one of our many ways of celebrating Earth Day. We went to Agoura Hills to learn about several plants that live in Mediterranean climates. We also learned the different type of uses these plants serve to animals, humans, and to earth. Students were involved in the lesson by asking questions and taking notes. We participated in a scavenger hunt to learn quirky things about animals that live in the wild. Many live animals were on display, allowing the children to touch them. Finally we closed our day with a spider hunt. We caught spiders from under rocks, tall grass, and off trees to help collaborate in scientists' studies. If the spider was new, they would be named after us.
