Field Trip Time


A. had her first field trip of the year to a nature place. I always like going on field trips, because I get to see my little folks in a different place with their friends. She and her class had to run some tests to see if the pond was a healthy or polluted pond. She is running a "turbidity" test to see how cloudy the water is.

Then they had to catch critters to see how healthy the water was. Some creatures can only live in non-polluted water while others thrive in pollution. A. caught a bunch of minnows.


Then they took their critters (the invertebrates) and looked at them under microscopes. It's amazing how many creatures there are in this world which are so unique in their design. It is awe-inspiring that our Creator has planned and designed everything so amazingly, even down to the smallest bug!

I remember going with my class to the nature center/park to test water and animals from the creek. A look like that might be her "thing".

I went with Karlee to the same place. Field trips are great.

What a fun field trip. I am so glad you got to go. She will remember you being with her.
