A Day of Discovery at Brightwater Education Center
Sunset 5th graders took a field trip to visit Brightwater Education Center. The program at Brightwater engages students in experiential and project-based fieldwork that appeals to diverse learning styles. Students, chaperones and staff enjoyed a day of learning and new experiences!
5th grade teacher Tiffany Bachman shared "We applied our science learning at our Brightwater field trip. At Brightwater, we learned about the urban ecosystem and what the Brightwater area used to be like. Then, we made observations at 2 of their ponds and gathered samples. When we returned to the lab, we discussed evidence of plants, animals, and people and observed the living things found in the pond samples. We ended with a comparison of what the Brightwater area used to look like to what it is now."
