What is Wood Magic?
An Interactive Program on Wood As A Resource
Oregon Wood Magic is a 2 hour and 45 minute interactive experience designed to educate elementary students about the wonders of wood as a material. It is primarily designed for third and fourth grades, but can accommodate blended 4/5 classes. Students and their teachers visit a series of nine stations that cover aspects of science and technology relative to wood and wood products. The stations are designed to be visually stimulating and interactive. The goal is to educate students about wood material and encourage them to think about resource issues. Each station is connected to a series of lesson plans.
