On October 8, 2018 CWDD's Janel Roberge and LeeAnn Trusela traveled to Morrisville, VT to assist two science teachers from People's Academy in leading roughly 35 AP Biology students through an all-encompassing field day. At the Wild Brach and Ryder Brook stream sites, students were tasked with conducting site, water quality, and babitat assessments, along with learning and executing processes used to measure the flow of the streams. Additionally, students learned about the importance of biological indicators through sampling their sites for benthic macroinvertebrates.
AP Biology students from People's Academy fill out the Habitat Assessment for their stream site - get the name of this stream site and insert.
People's Academy students such as this one found our chest waders to be comfortable enough to sit in the stream in while completing a Site Assessment at one of their stream sites.
AP Biology students from People's Academy explore the concept of biotic indicators via interacting with stream bugs.
