There are two links below one to the Detroit Zoo and one to the National Parks. Take some time to “walk” through the zoo and look at all the different live cams and learn about the animals. Then go to the second link at “visit” all the National Parks. Observe everything that is going on in these wonderful places that we will get to visit again.

In science we are learning about “Earth Systems”. There are four earth systems — atmosphere (air), biosphere (life), geosphere (earth), and hydrosphere (water). FYI remember the word/suffix ‘sphere’ means circle. Here is the “kicker” about those four systems – they all work together all the time and they all affect each other. As you go on your virtual “field trips” try to notice the atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere in everything you see.

DO IT – SPEND A HALF HOUR ON EACH LINK – COME ON – SERIOUSLY WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO DO – KEEP YOURSELF BUSY – MAKE YOUR BRAIN SMART.
