 The LIFE – Florida Caverns State Park (FCSP) Program is
a partnership between the Department of Environmental Protection and
Malone School in Jackson County. The Program targets seventh grade
students at Malone School and involves four separate field experiences,
one every nine weeks. Each field experience involves a number of
distinct field labs led by DEP staff, volunteers, and participating
teachers. The field labs will address priority topics that have been
identified by the participating teachers and will use the unique natural
resources and ecosystems available at Florida Caverns State Park as
examples to illustrate important concepts and principles in Life and
Environmental Science. The field experiences delve into such topics as
cave formations and karst features, the slant of the sun’s rays as it
relates to the Earth, and distance vs. displacement. This Program is
funded primarily through a
Florida Springs Initiative grant.
