For two weeks in March, the entire Lawrence Academy community shifts its attention from the regular academic routine to intensive courses of study that are dedicated to experiential learning. In small groups of eight to sixteen, students and teachers plunge together into the world outside the classroom (LA-Website).

Students in Arizona Rock
The Geoscience Winterim is keeping their own blog. Check it out for a complete summary of everything they have done through Sunday, March 10th. (The 3rd tab above will also bring you to their page.)
They have been inside a dome biosphere, observed wildlife at a national park, visited with a meteorologist at a TV network in Phoenix driven through a major thunderstorm, been "snowed in" Arizona style, visited a natural pool or well of water in the middle of the desert (which they couldn't drink from - read the blog to know why!) and hiked at least 3 miles just yesterday.
From the photos, they certainly look like they are having a good time while learning about the environment, weather, and habits without the need for a textbook!
