While I might not have thought of a trip to the corn maze as a science field trip if we had not been actively involved in this
100 Days of Science Challenge; I can not deny that we learned so much while out in the field.
Not only did we observe a lot about the cow corn that is used to build these corn mazes but inside the maze there was a scavenger hunt through which we learned about sustainable farming, the tree of life, Henry Thoreau, and all sorts of green energy ideas.
We had a great time.. even if it did take us a bit longer than we had planned.

| We found our first word clue! |
 |
| Looking out over the maze from the height of the bridge |
 |
| We can just barely spot the other bridge in the distance. |
 |
| We found the map inside the maze (which made finding all the hidden stations so much easier!) |
 |
| These fun panels showed us our own secret map! |
When we finished the ENTIRE paper and answered all the trivia questions the kids were given free Maze Champion t-shirts!
We then ended our outing wish some yummy ice cream!

I love corn mazes! I can’t wait to visit one in our area this next week.
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun (and one of the only times I've legitimately found my way back out).
