Davis and Jeanette Junior High AVID 9 students had the exciting opportunity to participate in Stream Leaders: an outdoor education program that fosters experiences in citizen science, civic engagement, and environmental stewardship.
Jeanette teacher Michelle Bissell and Davis teacher Marisa Mazzarra were awarded a grant that is being used to bring Stream Leaders to UCS!
Students were involved in water testing, water measurements and identifying a variety of invertebrates that give insight to the current quality of the Clinton River Watershed.
With this hands-on experience, students were able to utilize scientific and mathematical concepts in a real-world setting.
Davis and Jeanette AVID students will venture to Dodge Park once again this spring to take measurements. The results gathered will be complied with other school's in the area and will be used to help the county determine the health of the water shed.
