Sandy Creek Nature Center, 2012


Jack mentions that the best seat on the bus is in the back because "that's where you really feel the bumps."  It looks like Jaden agrees.





Like Lena, Cherokee covers her face...



Once split into three groups, folks rotate through a microhabitat exploration, a lesson on Georgia habitats, and a trail hike.




Classes preview measurement, area, and perimeter.






Each group determines area, perimeter, and soil temperature, while listing living and nonliving things within a defined space.


Hiking is the highlight.



Two UGA students lead the group, and the one in the back spends his time staring at his phone, whispering answers to questions from the lead guide, and bragging about a "23 point buck" his buddy killed last weekend.


Resident banana spiders frighten some, and attract others.






Sasha explores turkey tail fungi.







Inside, the class previews Georgia habitats.



Mack's distraught, and Briana's suspicious.  Is Cherokee dancing?
