The Wilderness Science Center Study
By Natalie White

5th Grade Lesson

This week I’ve been working with fifth-grade looking at different my micro invertebrates that are currently living in the wetland. It is awesome to see the educational technology that we are able to use today for students learning. We give the students a microscope in the computer which books onto it, and they can microscopicly see and identify what kind of bugs or fish are in there. When they figured out they write down on the sheet what it is, what they eat, and draw what they look like. At the end we all asked them what kind of different Barb is, fish, or bugs I have found in their samples. It’s fascinating to see how little they knew about the amount of life that was just in a little part of water.
