Maple Syrup Program for Early Years, Grades 1, 2, and 3.
Maple syrup season is just around the corner. Join us for our exciting, interactive, hands-on learning experience while you complete specific expectations of the Ontario curriculum. This program covers a range of both overall and specific expectations from the strands in Science and Technology, Mathematics, Social Studies, Language, Personal and Social Development. The making of maple syrup is a Canadian tradition.
All stations allow the students an up-close hands-on experience. Our dynamic tour includes: * "tap" a tree - using our 'safe' hand drill (brace and bit) with instructor assistance to drill the hole, attach the spile and hang the bucket *collect maple sap (students have their own small bucket to gather the sap) *see the change from sap to syrup in our evaporator in the Sugar Shack * understand the basic concept of making maple syrup * taste freshly made maple syrup * compare past and present methods of processing maple syrup * learn how to identify a maple tree * enjoy a tractor drawn hay ride through the sugar bush. * all tours are age appropriate * very experienced, knowledgeable, connecting instructors will lead your group through our exciting program answering all questions. * nature and ecology appreciation * use your senses - see, smell, hear, touch and taste
