A selection of responses from the Nature School's new Student Outcome Surveys
1.
What activity did you do that you never did
before?
- An activity I did that I've never did before was use a microscope.
- I never went in to the water and trad to cach stuff.
2. How have your feelings about living things changed since you visited the Nature Center?
- My feeling have changed because I realized some bugs are more important than I thought.
- I feel that we should do less polluting. If we keep our waters clean animals won't die.
3. What was the most important fact that you learned while you were at the Nature Center?
- I learned that even if you litter in your backyard or somewhere not even close to water that pollution will someday get into the water and kill living things.
- The most important fact I learned was that you have to keep the streams clean to help keep rivers clean to help keep the bay clean to help keep the oceans clean.
- That if there is a stonefly in the water that it {the water} is healthy.
4. What surprised you the most about the plants and animals who live around the Nature Center?
- What surprised me the most was that there were more animals and plants under the rocks than I could imagine.
- That in a single drop of water there is a whole lot of plankton.
- That microscopik animals look wird and like thay cam from outer space.
5. What will you do differently
because of what you learned while visiting the Nature
Center?
- I will now be careful of what I do because I could be killing lots of those little animals.
- I will try not to pollute the water so it will stay healthy everywhere in the watershed.
- I would not now take an animal out of its habitat, because if they are in a strange habitat they could die.
- I will never open my mouth under water at the beach.
