Riverbanks Zoo Outreach Field Study

We were very excited last week to welcome our guest speaker from the Riverbanks Zoo.

 We reviewed our energy is passed from producers to consumers.

 What animals eat?

 Who are herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores??

 Digging for decomposers….

 Parts of a plant…

 We reviewed different ecosystems and food chains in each.

 We also got to touch and look at real bird feathers, and fur from a tiger and lion!!!

 I LOVED watching the kids amazement and excitement during this visit.   They also asked some very intuitive questions.  Our guest speaker was very impressed not only with their behavior but their awesome questions and said she can't wait to come back next year for another visit. ;)
