Our PIE 2/3 students, teachers, and chaperones visited Bushkill Falls on Thursday, June 8th. The Pennsylvania Wildlife Exhibit, located at the entrance of Bushkill Falls, features fascinating displays about the area's indigenous wildlife. From the mighty black bear to the timid chipmunk, the exhibit is an outstanding place to learn more about these creatures that are such an integral part of the Bushkill Falls natural environment. Students ventured onto the trails as a culminating activity to enhance their geography unit focusing on map skills. An official trail map has been developed just for this adventure. The map, which is especially detailed and accurate includes 20 "control points" that can be found on the trails. When five, ten, or twenty locations have been found and verified with a unique punch of their cards by a park official, they become eligible for a monthly prize drawing from the falls. As a follow up to the trip, students will be completing a nature journal and sketches to document their trip.
