Our field trip will include two hands-on activity components. First, participants will get a tour of Lake Mendota and use limnology equipment on board. Second, they will use equipment and microscopes at our lab to collect and examine zooplankton and macroinvertebrates. We will provide a wide variety of experiential lessons for studying lakes and aquatic environments that teachers can bring back to their classrooms or curriculum.
GUIDELINES: Bring water and sunscreen. All participants will wear life jackets on the boat (we provide those). All participants are required to read, review, and sign a Participant Agreement Form prior to participating in the boat portion of this field trip.
