School Programs at Constitution Marsh Audubon Center
Where kids become scientists...
School groups of all ages are welcome at Constitution Marsh Sanctuary. A typical class conducts hands-on
investigations of the Hudson River using scientific tools and methods. The flexible content and style of our programs make them
suitable for all learning levels, and programs are keyed to New York State science standards.
Programs can accommodate groups of twenty-five to thirty students.
Programs include:
- Eagles
on the Hudson Program - Bring your students
to Constitution Marsh to learn about these awesome birds,
and to search for them along the shores of the river.
- Brook Program
- Wearing boots and using nets, students collect and identify
organisms they catch in Indian Brook and explore the Hudson
River watershed.
- Bird Program
- Using binoculars and learning field mark identification,
students learn to identify some of the common marsh birds,
and learn about their nesting habits and migration patterns.
- Fish Program
- Students learn fish anatomy and use scientific "keys"
to identify fish species.
- Aquatic Program
- Students "scope out" microorganisms they collect from
the marsh.
