We toured
Crane Point Nature Center on afternoon. They had a museum filled with information from the prehistoric days of the Florida Keys to the present days of conservation. They had a small water feature with a nurse shark and other native fishes as well as small touch tanks filled with sea stras, Queen Conchs, and other friendly organisms. We walked on a nature trail for about a mile out to the gulf- Crane Point. We took pictures of the native foliage on our walk through the
mangrove- we plan to use the pictures to create a lesson over classification and dichotomous keys.
