Welcome to our BCHS Earth Science activities blog where we will be presenting a few pictures of some of the things that we do inside, and outside of class. We cannot use images of students who do not have a meida release form on file so if you are a student, or parent of a student, that you would like to see represented please take a moment to download, complete and return, a media release form.

On Thursday 9/24 we reinforced some of the concepts from the introduction to ecology in section three of our text. We took the opportunity to visit "Lake Bogie", a retention pond on our campus. Students were asked to complete a pre-observation questionnaire about retention ponds in general: what might be their purpose, where might the water come from/go to, would there be some likely contaminants, would they expect to see an abundance of life. variety of species, etc. We then headed to Lake Bogie so that students could have a look for themselves. Everyone was expected to record at least 15 observations which could include both the biotic and abiotic. |

Pinellas Coastal Cleanup 9/19 |
|
Keep Pinellas Beautiful, and Tampa Bay Watch teamed up to put together the kick off event for the Pinellas Coastal Cleanup in which volunteers were organized to collect debris along our waterfront. The annual event was held at Fort Desoto Park and was well attended. Differences this year included a more prominent role of Tampa Bay Watch, more trash picker tools, and a few less people involved that I seem to recall in the past. Also, it was rather curious to see a soft drink manufacturer and a water bottling company as sponsors as both industries have reputations as being much less than environmentally friendly. |
