Fifth grade students at the Winter Hill Community Innovation School spent a recent weekend in Groton, MA, learning and exploring at Nature’s Classroom. Students participated in various hands-on activities as they studied the flora and fauna in the area, and investigated scientific and engineering concepts.

Activities included a Night Hike, Science Fair, Shark Dissection, Rat Dissection, Water Rockets, Roller Coaster, Building a Bridge, Float your Boat, and Beaver Fever. Each evening ended with a Quiet Sing before lights out, a favorite activity for many of the Winter Hill Wildcats on this adventure.
