It's Spring and the ecosystems are full of wonderful activities! Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, and butterflies are developing. The environment is full of amazing colors, smells, and wildlife activity. In the first week, students will learn about the formation of flowers and get an introduction into the process of photosynthesis and learn how flowers use this process to convert sunlight to food. In the following week, students will explore the wonderful world of birds and learn about their habits, migration patterns, and why they are important to their surrounding habitats. In week three, students will explore the formation of a butterfly and we will look at different species of butterflies, what makes them so unique and beautiful. In week four, we will explore different ecosystems and habitats and see how all these amazing processes come together. There are no pre-requisites to this course, just a love of spring!

  Students will work with Nearpod, an interactive software program that allows students to participate in discussion boards, answer short quizzes, go on virtual field trips, and watch interactive videos that pertain to course material.  
      Students will also work with Gimkit, a website that allows students to participate in interactive quizzes that will reemphasize the material presented to them in the recordings. 
     In this 4-week course, students will have one recording per week and receive articles corresponding to that recording. The recordings will be posted by the date the class is scheduled, so for example, if your class is on a Saturday the recordings will be posted by the end of the day on Saturday therefore the students can choose when they would like to view them. The length of the class can be extended if needed to allow students to have time to view recordings and access materials.
