My biology students are urban public high school students. Like all teenagers, they are social animals. Nature is not something they normally think about. When we go exploring outside in small groups, however, as part of a science assignment, they get interested and enthusiastic about what they find. Discoveries made outside will outlast almost anything they might learn in the classroom.
