Science Editor Lions, Tigers, and Bears oh my! Seventh graders from Lakeridge Junior High School will be going on a very exciting field trip to the Oregon Zoo on March 8th! Everyone is looking forward to seeing all the animals and taking a day off school. The seventh graders will leave school and load the buses at 9:10. The chaperones will join them as they venture to the Oregon Zoo. While there, students will split into groups and then explore the zoo. Although this trip will be very fun, the kids will have to complete a few worksheets involving mostly science, but also math and language arts. This trip will allow students to study about what we are learning in class and to observe and analyze animal adaptations in person. The fee for buses and entry is $7.00. When there, we can see new elephant enclosure. The elephants habitat is four times larger then the old habitat and is home to the baby elephant Lily and her family. Zoos provide more then 142,000 jobs. They also have positive community based assets. Zoos allow everyone to get a further understanding of animals and see them in a local place. Some more positive aspects zoos give is that they are leaders in the protection of endangered species. Clearly, almost everyone notices these benefits because 80% of Americans believe that zoos are important enough to local communities to be supported by government funding. Overall, the LJHS seventh graders are pumped to go on this field trip and looking forward to see the 48 species that live at the zoo. Comments are closed.
