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.
