A month ago, HOW COULD THAT BE!?, we went on a field trip with our Environmental Science class. These kids are going to really kick butt at the Envirothon competition if they stay calm. It was a great day of learning and doing hands-on activities in a gorgeous environment.
The kids got to go canoeing to look for macroinvertebrates. They found a jellyfish that was pretty cool. It is near the mouth of a river, so we weren't too far from the ocean. Still it was unusual to find a jellyfish.
There were a couple of dissecting classes, and #1 actually participated. He may end up with Biology 2 after all! Actually he is nearly done with science classes, and I would be hard pressed to talk him into any more. Anyway, the kids dissected a squid and a fish that day.
The kids collected plankton and looked at it in a microscope. They also tracked some animals and then make casts of some tracks.
This is our group. There will be a high school team and a middle school team. It was a beautiful day, and we had a fabulous time. I want to LIVE at the Don Lee Center!
