Cox Creek Field Trip-May 8, 2012

At the end of the Port of Baltimore Unit, the students took a trip to Cox Creek which is a dredged material placement site. They learned a lot about the Bay and the students were excited to take their learning outside of the classroom. Teachers who attended were from all disciplines. Students rotated between four stations throughout the day. 
 
Station 1: Birding at Observation Deck 
Students learned how to use binoculars and got to see birds in their natural habitats
 
Station 2: What is Mitigation?
Students learned about the effects of climate change.

Station 3: Water Quality at tent
Students tested water for various factors such as turbidty, pH, salinity, dissolved
oxygen, temperature,etc.

Station 4: Sein Fishing.
 Students conducted a biodiversity analysis of organisms caught after being fished with a sein net.
