Ecomentors focus on observation and documentation

Once again, Ecomentors were treated with great weather as we set about documenting the life in the lake.  The students chose a specimen, spent some time observing, did their best scientific illustration, and paired it with a photograph.  Nicely done!  See you all on June 12.

Thanks Mrs. Brunelle and Mrs. O'Rourke ... always great to have you along!

Beetle ... maybe Ringo

Hmmm, mayfly or damselfly?  A little out of focus to tell

Snails ... always dependable

We do love dragonflies ... the babies eat mosquito babies, and the adults eat mosquito adults

This spider was on the water, not in it

Leech ... up close, they're quite beautiful!

And, could you believe it ... stuck to the side of a basin, discovered only back in the classroom ... a freshwater limpet!
