Trailer Ride / Raised Trees

Rochester Museum & Science Center

The Water Shed demonstration taught students about pollutants that end up in our water system. The students were able to use a computer program to zero in on different sites in and around Rochester that show the Water Shed and how it can be affected by run off, fertilizers, and even the soap from washing your car. They learned different ways to filter the waste water and what types of pollutants should be disposed of properly.

We were busy group microinvertebrates into low, medium, and high levels of pollutants.

Microinvertebrates: Just think ... they are swimming in our water.

Students are getting a hands on demonstration of how rain and run off effect the pollutants that are visible in yards, streets and parking lots.

Brown's Berry Patch

We had a terrific time! Farmer Brown has lots of useful information and a great Barnyard Adventure Play area to let go and have fun.

Poems

We went to the public market downtown.

I didn't see anyone with a frown.

Our tour guide was Ms. Cindy.

She was really nice and pretty.

We saw lots of fruits and veggies.

Some taste good but some nasty.

Mrs. Fraser was my driver.

After walking around with her we all got tired.

Some vendors had different things.

Like fruits and veggies, flowers plus bling.

Forgot to tell you we went on October 5th.

Hah! Gotcha! It was October 6th!

By Jemeah

We went on a field trip and the vendors gave us tips for our trip.

Some people bought honey sticks, I did not see any tricks.

The vendors let us try some beans and they tasted like peas.

Mrs. Cindy was our tour guide, but it got windy.

Most tomatoes don't taste like toes.

The strawberries were good but the berries were better.

by Keion

I went on a field trip.

The vendors and farmers gave me some tips.

We saw edible sharks, shrimp, flowers and gourds.

The gourds had boards.

We ate beans and honey sticks.

I bought six.

The seafood looked delicious, but very suspicious.

The fruits have vitamin C and D.

The veggies are healthy, too.

This is an awesome field trip, woo! woo!

The apples tasted great.

And the well for dogs, horses, and people was not freight.

When we went to go back to school,

the volunteer drivers rule!

More on the Market

Cindy was allowed to take the students into the Florist Wholesaler Warehouse (invitation only) ... it was cold, and beautiful. The students received free samples of apples and beans. Lots of questions were answered and items were purchased. Students bought strawberries, carrots, apples and honey sticks. The surprise of the day was an octopus. Have you ever eaten octopus?
