Making a FireEveryday at the nature
center, the first task is to make a fire.
It is a challenge and skill to make a fire with one match and the children have to try
to manage that.
Berry Syrup Tea
Making Grilled Cheese
Fish DissectionAnother big part of the
nature center is catching fish in their nets
Most classes that visit the center go out into row boats
and bring in the net
After they remove all the fish from the net they may
dissect them or cook them

Caramel!The children especially
enjoyed making caramel over the fire.
It was an experience for both Iman and I as well because
we had never made it before.
The only ingredient missing in this picture is the butter.

Homemade Bubbles
Another activity was making bubbles from scratch.
We made one batch with warm/hot water and another batch with boiling hot water in order to see what made
the better bubbles.
It was another learning experience for both of us
Bubbles
Coke and Mentos
ExperimentThe students really enjoyed
this experiment.
They had two different kinds of coca cola, one with sugar
added and one without sugar added.
They had two different types of mentos- mint and fruity.
The mint mentos have tiny holes inside and this is supposed to make the
explosion faster and higher.
Coke and Mentos cont. In the picture you can see part of the explosion with coca cola that has sugar
added and 5 mint mentos dropped into the bottle.
We wanted to take a video but it was too difficult to get
it without any children’s faces in it.
RowingMost of the classes with older
children participated in rowing boats or canoeing.
Sometimes they had to bring in the fish net or canoe
around and find the posts that Hege had put out for
them.
Team building activities are highly emphasized at the
nature center.
