Join us on an adventure in your own backyard! Have you ever spotted a bald eagle soaring over the land? Does a striped skunk live in your backyard? When we hear howling at night, is it a wolf or a coyote? Answers to these and many more questions await you as we study the animals native to our own continent. We will study the geography, climate, and habitats of these animals and their surroundings. We will also classify the animals according to their physical traits and characteristics. Your student will work on a semester long project that will capture all they have learned. So buckle up! It's not a long trip, but it'll be a fun one!
