CURRICULUM

Children will enjoy a guided

farm tour, pick their own pint of strawberries, and take part in an outdoor picnic lunch (lunch to be brought from

portable garden systems come with everything needed to grow herbs like basil, mint, and oregano. Children will

be able to observe, care for, and taste fresh herbs while learning how food grows.

This new addition allows students to observe live worms in action through a clear container filled with layered soil

and organic material. Children will learn about the role of worms in healthy soil and composting, encouraging

curiosity about the ecosystem below our feet. Observation journals and classroom discussions will help students

reflect on what they see and discover.

Students will become water scientists as they test the pH levels of various water sources, including canal water, ocean water, rainwater, and tap water. This hands-on STEM activity introduces environmental science

concepts and includes educational brochures from Collier County Pollution Control for students to take home and

share with their families.

This creative and educational activity helps children recognize common snakes of Southwest Florida. Each child
