Brownlee Fieldtrip

I recently went on a great fieldtrip with Logan. We road on this boat down the Delta. It was a beautiful day and we learned a lot.

They broke the kids into four groups and rotated around the boat being scientists for the day.

In Logan's first group they threw a net in the water to see if they could catch any fish.

They pulled the net out of the water themselves and caught some very cool fish.

Being the scientists that they are they had to figure out the names of the fish they caught.

Next they put a little net in the water to catch some plankton which they looked at under a micropscope to learn about all the little things that live in the Delta water.

I think Logan's favorite section was when they pulled mud up from the bottom of the Delta and discovered what lived in the mud.

The instructors told the kids to put the mud on their faces. Of course Logan went the extra mile and put it all over his face :)
