Nature's classroom: Beebe Meadow brings science to life

Today's fourth-grade science class ventured to Beebe Meadow to study Impatiens Capensis, commonly called jewelweed. This 8-acre nature preserve sits directly across from Tenacre, providing an excellent outdoor classroom for plant studies. Students walked to the meadow where they carefully observed the jewelweed plants and examined their distinctive seed pods, recording their findings in field notes. Back in the classroom, they finished their observation worksheets and shared their discoveries during a group discussion.
