Our class had the great pleasure of going to the Mercer Slough Environmental Center on Tuesday. We walked in the beautiful woods and wetlands areas, went on a scavenger hunt, took soil samples and conducted tests on them. We spent time in the lab and learned all about Soil Adventurers–F.B.I. (fungi, bacteria and invertebrates). We found millipedes, centipedes, worms, pill and sow bugs, slugs and other fascinating creatures in the soil and saw them magnified on "bug t.v.". Learning from the Mercer Slough docents in nature's classroom was a nice way to wrap-up our soils unit and carry on into our water exploration.
