Coastal Ecosystems Series, Gr. 3-5

Bring science concepts to life as students investigate the ever-changing habitats that make up our coastal ecosystems on Cape Cod. Students will learn about challenges for coastal organisms and develop a deeper understanding of the role that adaptations play in survival. Students will search for shorebirds and engage in hands-on discovery of horseshoe crabs, mollusks, and peat. This program pairs classroom visits with a field experience.
