Fifth Graders in Redshaw, Emig and Frieden classes visited the Mercer Slough. Walking muddy trails, students learned about the species found in the wetlands, and felt dirt samples to compare forest and wetland dirt. Back in the lab, the students jumped into their scientist roles and tested the slough’s oxygen level and studied pH. The students also had fun searching for organisms in samples of the slough’s water.
When: Thursday, March 26 6:00—8:00 p.m.
