This week, Saint John's third-grade scientists plunged into the fascinating world of watersheds with a dynamic visit from Miss Marnie of the Washington Department of Ecology! Using a captivating enviroscape model, students became environmental detectives, uncovering how pollutants impact our precious water resources and the wildlife that depend on them. This hands-on adventure is a vital part of their ongoing 'Trout in the Classroom' journey. Get ready for the next exciting chapter: a field expedition to a local waterway where our young researchers will put their skills to the test, analyzing water parameters and experiencing firsthand the challenges faced by our aquatic ecosystems! #sjelem
