What an awesome day for science on Cayuga Lake! Today 1/2 of the 7th grade participated in the floating classroom program to study aquatic science. Half of the group went on the boat first, while the rest collected aquatic insects and tested water quality in Salmon Creek. After lunch we switched. Here are some pictures from the trip. Thanks to Cayuga Nature Center for setting this up and Mr. Rhoads and Mrs. Bonavia for chaperoning.
What great pictures! I bet the students learned lots, enjoyed themselves and eachother. I can't think of a better way to spend a day of learning science...well, actually, I've seen lots of great ways to learn science in Groton lately. I want to be in 7th and 8th grade again (ahhhhhh, can you just see me in a tube top and shorts...no? okay, better to be me) msb
What a great time we had on the trip in the fall! It was my first real motor boat ride in my life. I loved sitting up in the prow of the boat, with the wind blowing in our faces and the spray from the water hitting us. What a great idea for a trip, Mr. Devoe!
