"A Walk in the Woods is even more than a lesson plan. This interactive site lets 5th graders explore and appreciate nature even if they can't go outside."

"Are you looking for ways to get your students excited about spending time in natural areas? From the University of Illinois Extension-Schools Online Program, this website invites students to take a virtual walk in the woods. This narrated cyberwalk was designed for third- to fifth-grade students, and contains an accompanying Teachers' Guide with Illinois-based learning goals and objectives, as well as a variety of extension activities. The site's Nature Notes section teaches kids about acorns, chipmunks, conks, cottontails, and more. The site utilizes great photographs, and includes a nice collection of related links under the categories of Animals, Birds, Trees and Flowers, and Insects and Bugs. The site even offers a preparation section with tips for future sylvan adventures."

"Join this online walk through the woods with an audio guide featuring photographs and field notes about the animals and plants you may encounter! Nature Notes includes images and information about everything you may find in the woods, from acorns to ticks. Visit the Fun Place to read or write a Timber Talk Story or to write in the Woods Walker Journal and see what others have written.
Upper elementary students are the target audience for this virtual field trip, and the materials are designed for independent reading and navigation, building an understanding of the content and vocabulary while integrating writing and mathematics into activities that build skills in observation and awareness of conservation issues. Audio support throughout this site will help students who are not strong readers.
Learning goals for this activity include general scientific observation and inquiry skills as well as the traditional data collection for investigations using scientific process skills including observing, estimating and measuring. Science topics covered are life cycles of plants and animals, and relationships among various organisms in their environments.
The trip through the woods is linear and encourages students to see this as an example of an experience that will vary depending upon season and time of day. The Getting Ready section gives tips about proper dress and behavior for a walk in the real outdoors.
The Site Index is a page of thumbnail images and will make it easy for you to return to a specific plant, animal or concept if you want to reinforce specific relationships or highlight materials relevant to a current unit. Consult the Teacher’s Guide for suggested extension activities for the classroom like creating bulletin boards or a woods glossary, as well as ideas for extending the activities into the school grounds or nearby community."
