*If you are interested in virtual service learning please email info@sanctuaryone.org for more information.*

While we are still hosting in-person field trips at Sanctuary One (with COVID protocols), we understand the constraints many educators are dealing with and so we are pleased to offer our first virtual field trips. We believe that onsite hands-on farm experience with nature and animals is best, but we are happy to continue virtually as needed. Sanctuary One educational videos were created to help guide classroom discussion about scientific topics.

You can also find virtual field trip opportunities with Sanctuary One through the Oregon Connections Nepris platform. Other lesson plans are available here.

 

Animal Groups virtual field trip

The Animal Groups educational video takes a closer look at the animals at Sanctuary One. In the video, we examine why certain animals form groups, why others do not, and the pros and cons of each.

Standards: 3-LS2-1.
Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.

Ruminants virtual field trip

The Ruminant educational video takes a closer look at the animals at Sanctuary One. In the video, we explore the complex digestive system of ruminant animals. We learn the names of the different parts and what they do. As a group, we think critically about why that is important.

Standards: 4-LS1-1.
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

Our Executive Director, Megan Flowers, wanted to share a story from a recent field trip."A chaperone from the class I led was a grandma of a student. In the garden I shared how our produce goes from the garden beds to someone's kitchen within 48 hours; often 24 hours. I also mentioned that the type of produce we grow was decided by surveying people's needs and requests at The Teresa McCormick Center. The chaperone mentioned her 89 year old mom filled out the survey and was so excited to receive our fresh produce. I told her that she can now go back to her mom and tell her she's seen where the produce is grown!Our garden, lovingly tended by Jess and her team, served three generations - great grandmother, grandmother, and grandchild. Small town living = wide impact."People, animals, and the earth...better together! ... See MoreSee Less
