Planning a Successful Visit

Marvelous Maples

March Only

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.
