Day 257: Field Trips - For Science!

 Today we dipped our toes into the terror of high school biology. 

Yikes, you guys. 

And unfortunately for Camden, who isn't in high school, he gets to take the biology class too. 

Honestly, it's intimidating but not impossible. It's also a lot of "fake it till you make it", which is exactly how I like to operate. 

The first task in the biology book is to get out in nature and do a "field study" of a certain area. 

Perfect. This I can do. Let's go on a field trip! For science!

We don't have to go far around here to find nature. We took a walk about 100 yards (or less) to the little creek behind our house that has a nice tunnel of trees. Then the boys used some paracord to mark four points to map out our field study area, and then sat and enjoyed nature and mapped out the area, recording any signs of organisms in their mapped area. 

Well, that was easy.
