Lindsay’s field trip programs utilize grade-specific Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to satisfy specific learning objectives. The programs are described in the table below and organized by grade level.
START TIME: 10:00 a.m. or 11:40 a.m. DURATION: 80 minutes
GROUP SIZE: 1 or 2 classrooms
COST: $250 for one class (1-30 students from the same classroom), $450 for two classes ( 1-60 students combined from two classrooms, both classes must be on the same field trip)
FORMAT: Small groups of 15 or fewer students visit multiple dynamic stations.
Please note that our field trips are geared toward elementary school students. If you have an older audience, please consider scheduling an unguided group admission or a Discovery Kit specimen rental.

Multiple stations of sensory engagement, outdoor exploration, exhibit hall study, and animal encounters!
| Info | Title |
|---|---|
Preschool & Transitional K | Animal Explorers Young explorers are introduced to animals. Preschoolers will engage in sensory-motor experiences as they meet animals. NGSS: While standards are not required at this level, our young scientists will engage in science and engineering practices backed by NGSS methods. |
Kindergarten | Senses of Survival Discover the patterns in plant and animal survival through sight, sound, smell, and touch. As we act out animal movements and see what it takes to live in nature, we’ll seek out the ways humans can lend a helping hand to protect wildlife in our own backyards. NGSS: Fulfills elements of K-LS-1 & K-ESS3.C |
Grades 1st - 3rd | Exploring Biological Adaptation This program investigates ways in which animals’ inheritable physical structures or behaviors may improve their chance for survival and reproduction when environmental and habitat changes occur. NGSS: Fulfills elements of 1-LS1-A, 1-LS1-B, 1-LS1-D, 2-LS4.D, 3-LS3.A, 3-LS3.B, 3-LS4.D |
Grade 2nd- 4th | Habitat Diversity Students will explore the diversity of plants and animals of three distinct California habitats. NGSS: Fulfills elements of 2-LS4-1, 3-LS4.D, 3-LS4.C, 4-ESS3.A, & 4-ESS3.B. |
5th Grade | Ecosystem Energy Flow Through inquiry and activities, we will understand how energy flows through an ecosystem and the important roles played by producers, primary and secondary consumers, and decomposers. From the sun and plants outside to our worm composting bins, the students will experience many levels of ecosystem energy transfer. NGSS: Fulfills elements of 5-LS1.C, 5-LS2.B, 5-LS2.A, & 5-ESS3.C. |
