What did we find in our leaf packs? Last Thursday, Vasanthi and Mrs. Crowther headed to upper and lower McCabe's brook to fetch our leaf packs! These leaf packs had been in the brook for almost a month! Our hope was that the leaves we had placed inside the mesh bags would decompose and provide a rich food source for macro invertebrates. These macroinvertebrates would in turn tell us about the health and water quality of McCabe's Brook! We compared our data from our leaf packs to the data we collected in the field. As a group of scientists we wrote an essay using the evidence from our field experiments! Look for that essay here tomorrow!
Last Friday we mystery FaceTimed with a class in NJ. We talked together about our read aloud called Fish in a a Tree. We eCh had a role in the conversation. In the end we learned that Vasanthi is very good friends with Mrs. Kalovrouziotis, the teacher in NJ. They went to high school and college together! They were even roommates!
