Welcome to the Biological Science Field Trips section, where students can explore the wonders of life science through engaging, hands-on experiences. These trips provide opportunities to study ecosystems, wildlife, plant biology, marine life, and more in real-world environments such as nature reserves, aquariums, botanical gardens, and laboratories. By interacting with biological systems up close, students will deepen their understanding of living organisms, ecological relationships, and conservation efforts. Aligned with science curriculum standards, these trips foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for the natural world.
Take students into nature with visits to wildlife reserves, zoos, and national parks. These trips offer a closer look at biodiversity, animal behavior, and ecological relationships within various habitats.
Dive into the world of marine science with field trips to aquariums, coastal research centers, and estuaries. Students will study aquatic ecosystems, marine life, and conservation efforts through hands-on learning.
Visit botanical gardens, greenhouses, and arboretums to explore plant life and ecosystems. These trips offer students a firsthand understanding of plant biology, photosynthesis, and the role of plants in sustaining life on Earth.
Student groups in Iowa are treated to agricultural and factory tours that can not only be educational, but fun and memorable as well.
