Garden Lessons
Outdoor Lessons
Beyond the general educational value of using the outdoor areas, Borton teachers use them for specific instructional objectives.
Here are two example lessons which show how Borton teachers use the outdoor areas. These lessons were recorded for the Teaching Channel. Here you can view them from the Teaching Channel website.

Molly Reed has her students work in groups to explore attributes of ecosystems first-hand, as shown in this video on the Teaching Channel.
Dichotomous Key Lesson
Caryl Crowell used BELL to help her students learn how to classify plants using a Dichotomous Key, as shown in this video on the Teaching Channel.
