Abstract

The following project is a teaching philosophy for environmental education and a lesson plan designed for Ritchey Woods, an outdoor education facility and Indiana State Nature Preserve owned by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. The lesson plan was for a day camp program titled Nature Nuts that lasted five days each section with a total of seven sections. There were twenty-five campers per section. The lessons were implemented the summer of 1997 and were taught by the author of this project. The project encompasses the research and development of the plans as well as their implementation and evaluation.
