Outdoor Classrooms

An outdoor classroom is an exciting and effective tool to engage students in learning. Outdoor classrooms can be as simple as just placing a table and seating outside (NOTE: Contact electric companies for used cable spools - they make great outdoor tables, they're free and you're recycling!) or just one component of a larger habitat project. Visit the links below for inspiring ideas, activities and funding opportunities.
