Oxbow
I'm so impressed with Oxbow field trips. We were taught how to walk like a fox, listen like a deer and see like an owl. If we could mimic these animals, other animals would let us see them!
Students rotated through 4 centers throughout the day. We got to build a lahar off the side of our sand replica of Mt Hood. (Lahar was a new word for us, ask your student if they can tell you what it is!).
We went on a nature walk where we contrasted the ancient and new forest, identified a lahar, and flood plains.
With the expert leading of our very own Mr. Vasen (Rowan's dad), we built streams on the banks of the Sandy. What would the water take with it? Where would it leave these items? How could we best help the water flow and not quickly absorb into the sand?
Finally, we partook in a rock sort. We sorted by luster, hardness, texture and color. The rocks were quite varied!
At the end of the field trip we were asked "who does Oxbow belong to?" Us! Please enjoy this beautiful park. There is so much to do, so much to see, and your student can be your guide.
Parents in the "Rock" group, I'd love to include pictures from your rotations too!
