🌿Field Biology Site Survey🍃
Field Biology students have been conducting site surveys at the Theler Wetlands classroom as part of their final project in their plant research unit. In groups of two, students map off 10 by 10-meter areas to research and identify plants they have been studying throughout the semester. The students travel to the Theler Wetlands four days a week as part of their studies.
Classes like this at the North Mason School District Theler classroom have been happening over the last 35 years, 10 of which have been under Erin Varbel's instruction. She is proud to share that the class has gained a tremendous amount of interest and is now offered as part of the robust CTE programs available in our district. "Next year, we have 56 students who have signed up for the class, which is an increase from the 17 enrolled now." Challenges to this course offering include transporting students that are not able to drive themselves, as "the recent levy failure threatens being able to offer a program like this, going forward."
Thank you for sharing this classroom experience, Erin, and for highlighting how our students are benefiting from this pristine wetland environment that we are fortunate to have right here in our community.

🐳🐬🐟🐠🐡 Fair Harbor Field Lab Marine Biology 🦈🐙🐚🐋🦑
Ms. Landers' Marine Biology students from NMHS brought hands-on science to Fair Harbor through an engaging field experience. In collaboration with the Case Inlet Fisheries Task Force (
https://www.caseinletfish.com/), students conducted a variety of scientific investigations, including surface and deep-water quality testing, Secchi disk transparency analysis, zooplankton net sampling, and microscopic plankton observation. They also utilized an underwater camera to explore aquatic environments and practiced knot-tying techniques used in salmon netting. A highlight of the day was the successful capture of a Comb Jelly, belonging to Phylum Ctenophora.
An additional piece of exciting news to add on to this field trip information comes from Principal Hadfield about the arrival of the Salmon Net Pens (see photos). The Net Pens will be placed at the marina next year and utilized in the CTE pathways of Aquaculture, Advanced Robotics (with an underwater focus), and Marine Biology.
Thank you Ms. Landers and Principal Hadfield, for sharing the students' experience on this field trip and for shining a light on the exciting opportunities available to our students through the robust CTE program offered in the district.
