"Keeping a field journal develops and reinforces the most important science process skills; observation and documentation. All other parts of the process of science depend on these skills. We assume that we are naturally good observers, but learning to really see is a skill that must be learned and developed." (CNPS)

Grab the popcorn!!!

You owe it to yourself to watch  the Ken Burns video, "Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery".  (4 hours)

This extraordinary film tells the remarkable story of the entire Corps of Discovery not just the two famous Captains, but the young army men, French-Canadian boatmen, Clark's African-American slave, and the Shoshone woman named Sacagawea, who brought along her infant son. Journey with them all, across a breath-taking landscape in an unforgettable experience that explores both the history and promise of America.  (Editorial Review)

We have a copy in the annex available to be checked out. If you do check it out, please pre-plan to work the four hour viewing into your schedule so that it can be returned to the annex promptly for continued checkout by other camp families.
