Discover Nature Schools programs
Becoming Bears (Kindergarten-2 grade)
By becoming baby bears, children learn from their “parent” to survive the seasons. Kids will find safety in the spring and learn kinds of food bears eat during the summer, and then create a cave for winter hibernation(冬眠). After learning the skills needed to survive, students will go out of the cave as an independent black bear able to care for themselves. (1.5-2 hours)
Whose Clues? (3-5 grade)
Kids will discover how plants and animals use their special structures to survive. Through outdoor study of plants and animals, kids will recognize their special structures and learn how they enable species to eat, avoid their enemies and survive. Using what they have learned, kids will choose one species and tell how they survive in their living places. (3-4 hours)
Winged Wonders (3-5 grade)
Birds add color and sound to our world and play an important ecological (生態(tài)的) role. Students will learn the basics of birds, understand the role birds play in food chains and go bird watching using field guides and telescopes. Students will do hands-on activities. Students will use tools to build bird feeders, allowing them to attract birds at home.(3-4 hours)
Exploring Your Watershed (6-8 grade)

【解析】
這是一篇應(yīng)用文。短文介紹了讓學(xué)生了解和體驗(yàn)大自然的課程的相關(guān)信息。
【1題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Becoming Bears中的“By becoming baby bears, children learn from their “parent” to survive the seasons.”可知，通過成為熊寶寶，孩子可以從“熊父母”那里學(xué)到生存的技能。所以孩子們在Becoming Bears能假裝成小熊來學(xué)習(xí)關(guān)于熊的一些知識。故D選項(xiàng)正確。
【2題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Whose Clues?中的“Kids will discover how plants and animals use their special structures to survive”可知，孩子們會發(fā)現(xiàn)植物和動物是如何利用它們的特殊結(jié)構(gòu)來生存的。所以對植物感興趣的孩子會選擇Whose Clues。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
【3題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Becoming Bears中的“students will go out of the cave as an independent black bear able to care for themselves”.Whose Clues中的“Through outdoor study of plants and animals.”.Winged Wonders 中的“ go bird watching using field guides and telescopes.”和Exploring Your Watershed中的“All programs include plenty of time outdoors”可知，學(xué)生們將作為一只能夠照顧自己的獨(dú)立的黑熊走出洞穴。通過對植物和動物的戶外研究。并使用野外指南和望遠(yuǎn)鏡觀察鳥類。所有項(xiàng)目都包括大量的戶外活動。所以根據(jù)這篇文章，四個(gè)項(xiàng)目都有戶外活動。故B選項(xiàng)正確。
