PROJECT+IDEAS

Here are some of our ideas for lessons based on out trip to Central Park:


 * 1) Interview a park ranger
 * 2) Use your senses to describe type of soil
 * 3) Compare and contrast city life vs. a natural environment: How the park is different from city outside of it?
 * 4) History of the sculptures in the park.
 * 5) Descriptive writing assignment using 5 senses.
 * 6) Identify living things found in the park and where else you might see them
 * 7) Animals and their habitats (Using C.P. Zoo and other areas of the park)
 * 8) Using the maps of C.P. (directions, finding your way around the park)
 * 9) Evidence of glacial movement
 * 10) Scavenger hunt with sculptures (looking for carvings and natural things)
 * 11) Observing rocks to see if C.P. is their natural setting
