Use our Expedition Updates, which we will post to our website from the rainforest via satellite phone from March 25 to May 5, to take your class on a virtual field trip through the Amazon's flooded forest! Photos, videos, journals, scientific data, and direct communication with expedition members will bring the plants, animals, and people of the Rain Forest into your classroom in a whole new way. This school year, the Wilderness Classroom will study the flooded forest of the Peruvian Amazon. Staff members from the Wilderness Classroom will paddle dugout canoes through Peru's most remote section of flooded forest in April and May of 2005. During the six week learning adventure, we will update our website with videos, photos, scientific data, journals, and much more. A complete multidisciplinary curriculum, correlated to 3rd through 8th grade Illinois state standards, will accompany the adventure. Before and after the adventure, The Wilderness Classroom will visit your school to excite your students about the people, plants, and animals who call the flooded forest home. We will be adding loads of additional information that pertains to Peru over the next few months. Please check back often, or contact us so we can keep you informed as the adventure unfolds. For further information, please contact Eric Frost at 630-204-0420 or e-mail us at info@wildernessclassroom.com. |
