Grade 5: Let’s Get Together

FIELD TRIP #3   |  Let’s Get Together

Location: Indian Cove Amphitheater inside Joshua Tree National Park

Big Question:  How can we be part of the conservation efforts in our own backyard?

Small Question:  What have we learned about the desert?

Objective: All 5th grade classes attend this field trip together to collaborate on a special presentation. In small groups, students will develop presentations to share with special invited guests. These presentations will share information about what the students have learned throughout their experiences over the past school year at Oasis EL and in JTNP. There will be a brief review of the topics studied including: 1) Why understanding human impact on the environment is important; 2) Leave No Trace Principles; 3) Indigenous Peoples and Pioneers; 4) Safety in the Desert; 5) Design a plant or an animal that would thrive in the desert (specific adaptation must be described); and others that may be introduced during the year. 

Materials/Supplies: Sunscreen, lunch and water. DiscoverJTREE will supply all other materials.
