For the first session, the six members of the new club enthusiastically participated in making bagel birdfeeders, which were then placed on trees at the garden site behind the middle school. (The birds quickly devoured these winter treats!)
During the second session, the students took at Tap Water Tour and used LaMotte Science's copper and chlorine test sampling lab experiments to determine the levels in various tap water samples. They learned about 'safe' levels of chlorine and copper in drinking water, and completed lab write-ups for their scientific journals.
Ahead in March, students will explore LaMotte's Top Soil Tour and use various soil samples to determine the levels of phosphorus. Students will also report back on the levels of copper in water samples that they took from their homes!
We look forward to the remainder of the year...check back often for updates!!
