Journal Entry

More classrooms!!

I have been so busy visiting classrooms! I LOVE letting everyone know about the Winter Sampling expedition, the ship, the equipment, COPEPODS and answering ALL of their questions! I had some GREAT audiences this week and can't wait for them to be asking their questions in the “Ask the Team” section of this journal! Each class I visited decorated a polystyrene cup for me to submerge during the expedition! They made great hypotheses about what will happen to their cups!

Hypotheses for Polystyrene Cup ExperimentThese are some hypotheses from the third graders on what they think will happen when their cup is submerged in the Arctic waters!

Classes have really enjoyed looking at all of my gear. Eli wanted to try out the fleece lined rubber gloves!
