The Wildcats got their boots wet, wading into their studies of invertebrates on the bottom of the pond.
Students in Tom Hill’s environmental science class at Whitewater High waded into a pond to look for micro and macro invertebrates that live on the bottom of the pond in the benthic zone. They saw methane bubbling up and got a lot of dragon fly larvae and many thumbnail-sized bluegill. Once back in the classroom, they identified other tiny organisms with a microscope.
Hill loved seeing his students dive into the unique activity.
“Needless to say, the kids really enjoyed being out there.”
