All About Ecology

Our Navigators learned all about Ecology at our last meeting.  
We learned how all life on earth is connected by doing a great game.  
Each Navigator was assigned an animal, plant or insect.  We tossed a ball of yarn around to animals, plants and insects that were dependent on each other.  We created a web lof life and could see how all life could be affected by one tiny change by tugging on a string.


Then we played a fun game to learn about how animals adapt and the effect their habitats have on their survival.  
We divided into teams and were given different tools to use to forage for food in different environments. Then had a relay race to see how the different environments and adaptions affected the success of each group. 


 We finished out the meeting with a super fun game of parent/child sharks and minnows.  
Another fun meeting for Idaho Navigators!

Navigators Rake Up Boise

Our Navigators did an amazing job helping out a few elderly home owners in our community.  We raked 2 yards for a total of 66 bags of leaves!  Way to live our slogan Navigators.  "The more you give, the more you get."
