Ecosystem Exploration

Contact Us

Students will explore the dynamics of Massachusetts ecosytems through the lens of food webs and energy flow. This interactive field trip will compare specific ecosystems at Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary and through engaging activities students will learn what it takes for organisms to survive in these habitats and the adaptations that allow them to do so. This is a three hour field trip, including lunch, but may be shortened or lengthened depending on your specific needs.
