We highly recommend taking students on well planned field trips to local
natural areas, in order to engage their interesting science, and to
stimulate learning through the modalities used by Gardner's eighth
multiple intelligence, the "Naturalist Intelligence". For schools in northern
New Jersey, the following list of sites offers a great variety of habitats with
well-versed guides who can help teachers plan their trip. |
