This week 4th graders welcomed a real biologist into the classroom. Mr. Trovillion, our mentor for raising trout in the classroom came in and shared his experiences as a biologist and some truly fascinating facts about rainbow trout! We learned SO much from him! Students were also introduced to classification and taxonomy through an activity that had them sorting objects. Before it was time to go, we had an opportunity to glow. Actually we learned about bioluminescence and participated in an activity that had students trying to find their own species in a dark room, where the only language was light. (Morse code signals). See footage of our busy day in the video below.
