While Mr. Caplan points out the name of a plant, Brett Engwall and Bryan McCann studiously take notes
While most of the student body attended their regular classes, completed their worksheets, and basically carried on with their regular routines, Mr. Caplan’s AP Biology class was privileged enough to embark on a field trip to Torrey Pines on Tuesday, May 25.
The San Diego weather was perfect for hiking: warm with a slight breeze. Under the clear skies, the Biology students hiked a couple miles down to the beach, identifying various plants and birds along the way.
The class passed through a chaparral, a coastal sage scrub, a coastal strand, and the tide pools. In each community, they named the various producers and herbivores of that region, noting the specific traits and characteristics that made each plant and animal unique. The trek down to the beach was extremely scenic; twisting trees and tall, leafy plants formed natural tunnels that the students could pass through.
