Where are we?

Hi All,

Today we got started reading about, and understanding, the different water quality parameters that we will test in Strawberry Creek in the coming weeks.

The boys earned a tough quiz on temperature and dissolved oxygen to be given at the beginning of class next Tuesday, 1/20.

Everyone will have a quiz on Strawberry Creek and water quality next Thursday, 1/22.

Please look for a field trip into the upper reaches of Strawberry Creek watershed during the afternoon of Thursday, 2/5.

Have a great long weekend!

Current and future work

Hi All,

Wanted to check on where we are in our studies:

1. Good job reading and discussing the E.O.Wilson pollinators reading this week!
2. We have defined " watershed," and are continuing our studies, having read the glossy Our Watershed handout from the other day.
3. For today, you should have indicated how you expect to meet your first semester science goals by the end of the term (1/23).
4. For Tuesday, 1/13, Research your topic on the Strawberry Creek Watershed (i.e. history, geology/geomorphology, biology, or water quality). You and your partner(s) should have a 2-3 minute overview of your topic prepared for the class.

Have a great weekend!
