Enrich Your Field Trip

with a STEM Lab Experience!

The Windows to the Wilderness pairs excellently with a hands on experience in our Wilderness lab OR AquaAerobics Water Lab!  

From examining habitat boxes to learn more about who is hiding around us…to measuring your real-time impact on simulations like a stream table, to examining samples from the river…we have several lab experiences that allow your students to implement NGSS scientific and engineering practices and get excited about STEM!
