A big thank you to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and our Snowgoose teachers John and Jocelyn! What a great learning experience for all of our students.
Over the past two days our students went on a fantastic field trip run by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. On their boat, the Snowgoose, students explored the Patapsco River. We learned about the problems affecting this ecosystem, and learned how this ecosystem directly impacts the Chesapeake Bay watershed and the surrounding ecosystems. Students explored the river for evidence of biodiversity and conducted many water quality tests. We tested the water for dissolved oxygen levels and salinity levels. We dredged for oysters and learned why oysters are such an integral part to the ecosystem. Ask your child about the trip tonight...I'm sure they will be full of facts to share with you!
