Sandy Creek Nature Center, 2013


Illuminated, Saraya gazes at a wiggling discovery.


The Sandy Creek Nature Center field trip offers a hands-on preview of Georgia habitats, area, and perimeter - units we'll explore later in the year. 


Alyssa and Daniel work together to determine the perimeter of a microhabitat.

Ally waits patiently for insects to explore the microhabitat inside her mouth.


Essie does the robot, and waits to check the temperature of the soil.
