Description

The Pond Pals field study is designed to encourage students to explore a pond community and find out how the different plants and animals meet their basic needs in this community. A pre-field study activity introduces students to the needs of plants and animals living in a pond community. A Student Booklet has been written to guide students in a variety of on-site activities pertaining to the basic needs of plants and animals living in a pond. Through observations made during the field study, students will become aware of the similarities and differences between their community and a pond community. A Volunteer Booklet has also been provided to assist volunteers in directing the students' discoveries. With little preparation, volunteers will be able to assist the students and teacher in conducting the activities.
