Science Field Trip



This year Zack's Science class was able to go to a local creek and release some Coho Salmon that the High School classes have been raising. In addition to releasing the fish, they did some scientific testing. Zackery got to check the temperature of the water.

Then he and his lab partner worked on testing the PH. Other groups were working on the same tests.

The kids science teacher collected samples of the water to take back to school. Under the microscope the kids found all kinds of cool things.

And finally they had fun. Here is Zack on one side of the creek with his aide, on the other. She and I had a lot of fun trying to get across without getting too wet. While she choose to jump, I played it safe and walked across. Got my feet wet but saved my dignity on a possible fall.
