We're doing real science at Groton middle school! Above, Mr. Rhoads helps MARTIN H. lay down our transect line in the woods behind our school. We are doing a huge study to figure out what sort of habitat small mammals prefer. Our live traps will start on bare rock and go through all levels of ecological succession (grass, field, bushes, small trees, and a mature cherry-ash-maple open forest). Next week students will come in early to check the traps and record the data. I apologize to all parents for muddy jeans.CLICK HERE for video of today's experience.

What cool, cool posts!! I can't wait to see what else the classes catch out there. Of course, for every one thing you catch, my daughter will want to be able to have one at home. Maybe she could become the 7th grade science mascot?!?!?!? rather than me have all these varmits at home?

What a great pic of Mr. Rhodes teaching. You know, having Mr. DeVoe and Mr. Rhodes together is about as good as it gets for knowing the outdoors. The students at GMS are sure lucky... learn lots! msb
