OGES students had great reactions and interactions as we studied rocks, roots, and rivers as part of Earth Systems and its interactions. Beautiful skies and awesome kids!

Great week with UMS students as we explored field and stream during our watershed experience!

[Outdoor School @fcpsoutdoor]

@FCPSlfreiECE Yes. It stayed on its back for a short while and we caught this video.

Great catch with UMS! Hellgrammite in action. These critters need clean, healthy streams. Learning about bioindicators and stream quality during our Watershed Tour. Watch it breathe!

@MrR_TJMScience Looking forward to working with you and your students next week!

Learning about tolerant critters as bioindicators of stream quality. Way to go Mr. Mac! It's been a great week with MoMS.

[Dr. Terry Alban @FCPSMDSuper]

Mr. Querry headed to the creek per the students' choice. He demonstrated how we disrupt the creek and showed "bioindicators" (creatures that show a creek is healthy.)

[Dr. Terry Alban @FCPSMDSuper]

Mr. McIntosh takes us further down the creek and shares the history of how archaeologists found artifacts in a cave near the creek.

The chat box reflects the enthusiastic response of students to this virtual Outdoor School experience. As one student said, "Best day ever!" Thanks so much to our Outdoor School staff for continuing to make this environmental experience possible!
