We often have more than one class visit from a school at a time to reduce in busing costs and carbon emissions. Due to limited staff and space we are often unable to accommodate more than one class at a time for an activity. While the other class waits for their turn into the station, we can offer a scavenger hunt activity for teachers looking for a more structured activity for their class other than free exploration of the site. Scavenger hunt includes worksheet, clip board and pencil. This is a teacher-guided activity.

Classes have the option to return to the lab to complete their final sample/data collection, or alternatively, our staff can collect this information and send the data to the teacher over e-mail. Both options will be an additional 30 minutes of time, making this program $150 (1.5 hours of instructor time).
