Our Field Trip to the Prairie Heritage Center





Today we went on a field trip to the Prairie Heritage Center in Peterson. It was pretty cold but we had a great day! Our class put on our scientist ears and eyes as we observed and interacted with animals. This was a great way to kick off our animals science unit! We learned about bison and many other prairie animals who live in Iowa. We were able to touch and feel many hides, bones, and other parts of animals. Inside the Heritage Center we went on a scavenger hunt to find and learn about pioneers and prairie animals! A highlight of our day was our hike through the prairie looking for mystery boxes about many different animals. We had a lot of fun enjoying the outdoors and Iowa nature! If you have a chance I would suggest checking out the Prairie Heritage Center for yourself! Our class loved it and learned so much!
