Sixth grade science in Michigan is all about studying the water system/cycle and the effects humans have on this cycle. In the classroom, we study macro-invertibrates, invasive species, water infiltration, water run off, the effects of thermal energy on our water system, and how humans have changed the water cycle. All of these learning experiences are wonderful. However, there is nothing like the thrill of boarding a ship and taking real-life samples and collecting data from one of our lakes and a tributary. Our students are looking forward to the opportunity to be real scientists participating in collection of data that will be used by Michigan State University to study the health of the Clinton River and Lake Saint Clair. Once the students depart the ship, they then go to the Saint Clair Nature Center where they apply their knowledge about water, water run off, and the water cycle. Here, they will listen to a presentation and then hike through the marshlands/wetlands, where they will identify mammals, reptiles, birds, and other aquatic species and plants that we have been studying in class. This trip is by far the greatest learning opportunity for our wonderful sixth graders.
