Tomorrow is our AP Biology class’ first field trip and I couldn’t be more excited! We will be traveling to SF Save the Bay in order to restore part of the park and collect data. I think field trips are a great tool for learning because field trips apply education to places we can visit outside of the classroom. We are able to make more connections with what we learn in class to the real world when we are able to step outside and see the things we are learning about in action! Field trips also encourage us to become more curious about how science is applied to all aspects of our life, and trips like the one we are taking encourage us to volunteer and help our planet.
I hope to learn more about more ways that we can make a positive impact on our planet while on the field trip. Also, I would like to learn about how restoring the natural creeks and wetlands for animals in one part of the San Francisco Bay has an impact on all of the people that live around the bay. I want to make a positive difference on the environment, such as allowing the growth of baby animals in the wetlands by restoring the animal’s natural habitat. I am so excited to learn more!

I hope you had fun on your first AP Biology field trip! Going outside of the classroom is definitely one of the more engaging ways to learn. What are some actions that you can take to help preserve the bay?
