Mr.
Justin Smith, a biologist, from the Metroparks system engaged eighth-grade
science West Middle School students in environmental studies.
During
a two-session lesson the students investigated our schoolyard ecosystem. The
students learned to take soil, temperature, light, humidity and wind
measurements.
These
lessons continue to reinforce the science curriculum objectives for middle
school. But most importantly, the staff at West Middle School hopes to instill
a lifelong love of nature. The physical and emotional health benefits of
enjoying the outdoors are significant.
We
are very grateful to the Metroparks system for selecting West Middle School to
receive this grant from the 3M Corporation. West is committed to enriching the
educational experience of our students by bringing in additional speakers and
presentations throughout the school year.
