Winter Zenger Farm Trip

The students visited Zenger Farms for their second trip of the year.  The winter trip is MUCH different from the first one.  In the fall, they harvested crops and helped out with some work around the farm.  In the winter, they do more scientific work.  They learned and practiced scientific inquiry (questioning, observation, evidence, and conclusion).  The main scientific question of the day was: Is the water at the wetlands health?  They answered this question by measuring pH levels, diluted oxygen levels and acidic levels in the water.  They were also able to capture and observe macro-organizisms found in the water.  It was pouring, but that didn't stop this class from learning!
