Wednesday, two special guests came from the Audubon to teach us in an outdoor classroom. We learned about how scientists test bodies of water, and tested our own stream in the backyard! We tested the PH level (the acidity), the turbidity (how clear the water is), and the temperature. We used a Kick Net to collect macroinvertebrates and identified what they were. After studying the stream we played a "Guess What I Am" game with photos of Vermont wildlife. The kids had a blast asking one another questions and figuring out what they were. We then collected creatures from the woods and explored our natural world. Despite the rain, we had a great time getting dirty!
