Wow! What a successful day! With the help of some fantastic parents, hard working students, and beautiful weather we released 216 salmon fry into Osgood Brook in Wendell Depot. Students measured water depth in the brook, brought a water sample back to the classroom for ammonia testing, measured temperature and velocity, and took careful notes of their observations of the brook surroundings.
After a busy morning, a trip to the Barrett Fish Lift in Holyoke topped our day. We watched the lift raise fish over the dam and watched them swim by the viewing windows. Our guide Pete, couldn't have been more kind or more informative. The slide show proves science in action = learning = fun!!
