Shipboard and Shoreline Science on Lake Erie

Thursday, June 22, 2006

A little less queasy...

Continuation of Wednesday, June 21st...

In the morning and afternoon, everyone participated in a Flying WILD workshop and received a curriculum book with activities and ideas on how to hold a bird festival as well as great activities for the classroom about birds. In the afternoon, a panel session was held in the lounge for the teachers to interact with the scientists to brainstorm ideas on how the scientists can be better prepared to engage students in an elementary/middle/high school/non-formal setting. Conversation was very stimulating!

You too can look like a Lake Guardian fashionista! All the cool kids are wearing KEEN Newport trail shoes.







After arriving in Huron Harbor everyone ventured to area beachers with Dr. Larry Krissek to learn about the beach geology and shoreline stabilization techniques.

After dinner, everyone headed out to Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve and State Nature Preserve. Many arrived back soaked from the torrential downpours that were taking place around the area.
