Short Stations

ODS Curriculum - Short Stations page finished. Brief explanation of each category, as well as the model as a whole.

Half-day field studies provide the challenge of giving the students an opportunity to experience many of the hands-on "props," or dead animal parts (which hypothetically could be done in a classroom), while also giving them enough time to learn about wildlife-related concepts in the very forest in which they are taking place.

The happy medium is the "short" station model. Each field study group learns just one of the stations below, before embarking on the hike. The stations include some combination of concept models, bird parts, pelts, skulls, horns, antlers, live animals, and other specimens. After spending 20 minutes with one category of animals and the associated props, the students are responsible for applying that information throughout their hike, and for sharing that information with other learning groups they encounter along the way via The Shaker Battle Game.
