Last Tuesday we went to the Campbell Creek Science Center on a field trip. Here are a couple pictures from around the creek and my kids (but only with utterly obscured faces...sorry).
There were 3 stations-- 1. The ones on the left are pictures of the water bug station. The kids got to pull a cup of water out of the creek. They put the water in a pan and then dug out the bugs. (Some of them created little 'twigs' to hide in.)
2. The pictures on the right were part of a watershed and water cycle station. In this case, they threw a box like a die and then decided what their path was as water.
3. The last station was the build-a-bug station. At that station the kids got to create an insect keeping in mind the adaptations needed for it to eat and move and avoid predators.
details on experiments?

Very cool.
