The ILC's panels are designed and the rhythm of the tides in the Inland Bays. Later, clutching our treasures as we climbed aboard the hay wagon to rumble home- ward, we agreed it had been a most satisfying day. i paused on the path to listen to the gentle sounds of earth letting go: a soft swoosh like the sound of falling snowflakes as the trees re- leased their leaves, a rustle as a chipmunk scurried to bur)' nuts, to focus on three distinct aspects of Inland Bay's ecology. These include the cause and ef- fect of pollution, Inland Bays' plants and animals as components of estuarine food webs, and the dynamics of tides. Students are able to engage in a series of games and activities for each panel, enabling them to work at their own discovery pace. The learning center and its as- sociated activities are correlated to the fifth grade Delaware State Standards and Performance Indi- cators.
