Sixth graders exploring the Orange County zoo at Irvine Regional Park. Today we investigated how humans can leave both a positive and negative impact on our local ecosystems. In the OC zoo we met some native animals that live in Orange County like the mountain lion! Mountains lions can be found in the foothill and canyon areas of Orange County and play a major role in our ecosystems.  6th graders observing native rattlesnakes. 6th graders reflecting on the human impacts we observed  at the zoo.

Today in first grade we investigated how we can use biomimicry to create new inventions inspired by animal friends found here in Orange County!   First graders saying "hi" to Albert the Pacific Gopher Snake! Gopher Snakes will also use  biomimicry to defend themselves from predators. They will mimc  rattlesnakes!
