SCIENCE NOTE Poetry

Note from the teacher: While cleaning up files on my computer, I came across these notes developed by students in class. If you remove the names, it actually reads like science poetry! Of course, I wouldn't remove the names, though, because those kids deserve the right to see their names up on the blog! They all had something smart to say, but together their brilliance is invincible!

Riverside Park

Today Mrs. Abernethy's class and Mrs. Winner's class walked to Riverside Park to meet the Creek Connections crew. We performed water quality tests and we collected and studied macroinvertebrates by using the kicknetting method.
