Survival Science

     This elective course covers topics including GPS, compass skills, mapping skills and making maps.  Montana mammal identification and their role in the ecosystem is also covered.  Students will also study Forest Ecology and how to maintain the forest properly for multipurpose use. Survival in all weather that one may encounter while on a Montana Mountain Adventure is also covered. This course utilizes the outdoor classroom setting as much as possible.  We will be taking field trips around the school as well as to the Mountains.  This class is project and lab-oriented.  The course focuses on our region of Montana.  This course is counted for a lab based science for college acceptance.   Some field trips (pending funding) are required for this class.
