On Monday this week, a group of 34 pupils accompanied by 3 teachers from Kenton College Preparatory School visited Ngong forest for their science practical lesson. The lesson was mainly on identification of plant and animal species, their interaction and adaptation to their habitat and population size estimation.
The pupils were divided into three groups, each group studied aquatic, grassland and woodland habitats respectively after which they reshuffle, at the end of the day, each student had gone through all the three habitats and developed a food chain based on their observations. Each group was accompanied by a ranger (equipped with knowledge on flora and fauna of the forest) who guided them through in their lessons,

The pupils were happy at the end of the day since they were able to learn things practically without referring to their books. This was really a brilliant idea, and other schools can also emulate Kenton college school by bringing the students to learn more on plants and animals in Ngong forest .
