Our classroom is the great outdoors! Actively engage your entire class in the discovery process through hands-on experiences and minds-on investigation in nature at Five Rivers. Join us!
GROUP SIZE: 60 students maximum per day except for one hour Marvelous Maples lessons in March for preschool to second graders.
Students use all five senses to investigate sap dripping from trees, smell sap boiling in an evaporator, and taste the sweet result!
Pre-K to Grade 2 for a 60 minute outdoor lesson
Advanced Maples
MARCH ONLY
Students investigate roots, leaves and sap before playing Grow A Tree to construct a better understanding of photosynthesis. Outside in the woodlot, students taste sap flowing from a maple tree before heading to the Sugar Shack to link sap to syrup via the process of evaporation and, yes, a final taste.
