WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL classes take final trip to metro parks

In March Mrs. Schulte’s seventh grade classes along with Mrs. Bochenek from West Middle School, took their third and final trip to Indian Springs Metro Park in White Lake Township. 

The purpose of the trip was to continue to collect data to complete the students’ science inquiries. Soil and air temperatures were taken as well as light intensity, humidity and wind speed. Some groups took water samples, while other groups took soil samples. In addition, groups also saw fish, birds, galls, turtles, frogs and a variety of wildflowers. 

On May 3, Indian Springs Metropark naturalists will return to the school to instruct Mrs. Shulte’s seventh grade students on how to analyze their data and present their findings on a science board. Official presentations will take place later in May.
