These students had their hands in the dirt and feet in the water at Lost Lake Woods Club. What they have been learning in their science classroom came to life as they took biotic samples from the lake, analyzed water quality, learned about scientific writing and searched for evidence of micro plastics.
This is place-based education in action, and at NEMIGLSI we love helping facilitate learning like this! This event was a partnership between Michigan Sea Grant, MSU Extension, NOAA Thunder Bay, Huron Pines, Lost Lake Woods and Alcona Community Schools.
