We had a lovely time at Sardis Park this morning! We spent a good hour with our nets, buckets and gum boots…scouring the shallow water for any signs of life! At first it seemed void of anything except geese and ducks. But as the students looked more closely they caught and were able to identify tiny organisms swimming around their buckets. We even found some geese eggs and spotted some turtles along one shore.

In the afternoon we went upstairs to the high school science lab. There Mrs. Johnsrude had set up a number of different microscopes and slides for us to look at. We had brought back a water sample from Sardis pond and were able to see some algae and a small fly that was in the our water sample. It was a fantastic day!

I included some pictures for you to look at. Thanks to all of the parents who came out today and helped us. 🙂
