Los Alamos Public School Field Trips

Each year PEEC provides free Field Trips to LAPS classrooms. Students experience nature as young scientists studying soils, plants, habitats and more. All activities are hands-on and meet science standards!

For more information, see LAPS Field Trips or write to Programs@PajaritoEEC.org.

Planning a Trip

Students should bring their own snacks to eat during break and dress appropriately for outdoor activities. Transportation must be arranged and paid for by each school. Some schools are within walking distance.

Brownies

Currently, PEEC offers the following badge programs for Brownies:

• Watching Wildlife
  Brownies will discover the fascinating ways that animals make their homes, how they communicate, and the ways that they change their appearances with the seasons. We will also explore what animals eat and where they find their meals.
• Eco-Explorer
  This badge explores ecology - the study of how plants and animals live together in the environment. We will investigate how to look for signs of wildlife, how to explore nature, animal relationships within a food chain, and how each of us can help wildlife.

Juniors

Currently, PEEC offers the following badge program for Junior Girl Scouts:

• Earth Connection
  Juniors will study the ecology surrounding the nature center at PEEC. We will learn to identify trees, explore the plant life at various levels of the forest, read tree rings, and explore the fascinating adaptations that plants or animals have made in order to survive.
• Wildlife
  Scouts will discover the fundamental elements of wildlife and habitat, including observation, identification and conservation. Each Scout will have a field journal to record information, to sketch, write and record her findings!
