Fourth grade went to Mountain Run Lake Park yesterday for their Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience field trip! Students participated in stations to learn and explore watersheds. They retrieved macro invertebrates (and other organisms) from a creek bed and determined the pollution level based on what they found. They also classified and named them using dichotomous keys. Students also identified producers, consumers, and decomposers during a relay race. Finally, they designed storm drain art to bring awareness to the importance of keeping our watershed healthy. Shout out to Culpeper 4H for leading our students through a watershed simulation to learn more about watersheds and demonstrate how we all live downstream! It was a great day!
