Gross Out Day
Gross Out Day
It's a GROSS kind of Day! For larger groups or multiple classes, we offer Gross Out Day! This program allows you to select a variety (max 5) of our programs for groups to rotate through at your school. Alternatively, you can join us at one of our partner parks: Vulcan Trail, Trussville on the Cahaba, Aldridge Gardens, Tannehill State Park or a park near you. The following list is examples, but we can create or alter activities to meet your class needs!
Contact us here to inquire about or set up a field trip: programs@freshairfamily.org
Example Gross Out Day Programs
Live Animal Show
Alabama Science Standards
K.3 - Use data from observations to distinguish characteristics of living and nonliving things. K.4 - Use observations to determine patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive, including light, water, and nutrients. 1.5 - Use information from observations to explain how various external features help living things survive, grow, and meet their needs. 2.7 - Obtain information to explain that there are many different kinds of living things that exist in habitats on land and in water.
3-5
K-2
3.6 - Use data to provide evidence that plants and animals have observable traits inherited from parents and that variations of these traits exist in groups of similar organisms. 3.9 - Construct an explanation from evidence of how variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing. 3.10 - Make a claim from evidence that an organism's likelihood of survival depends upon access to sufficient resources in its habitat, including sunlight, air, water, food, and shelter. 4.8 - Make a claim, using evidence, that the functions of both internal and external structures of plants and animals (including humans) support growth, survival, and behavior. 4.9 - Carry out investigations to support a claim that different animals receive information through their senses, process that information, and respond in various ways. 5.8 - Use evidence to explain that energy from the sun is present in animals’ food and is used for body repair, growth, motion, and maintenance of body warmth. 5.9 - Create and use a model to explain the transfer of matter and energy between the environment and organisms within it.
6-8
7.6 - Analyze and interpret data to predict how environmental conditions, genetic factors, and resource availability will impact the growth of individual organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem 7.8 - Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions between and among organisms in different ecosystem 7.10 - 0. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures and their effect on the probability of successful reproduction
We will provide a live animal show for your students to safely interact with wildlife. Different animals are available at different times. Inquire through the email for price and available animals.
