Coming Fall 2011 - Fire Ecology!
SPRING 2011 cATAMOUNT CLUB - AEROECOLOGY
Catamount Club students discovered Aeroecology - the study of flying organisms -- bats, birds, bugs, and even germs—that depend on the atmosphere above Earth's surface. Students engaged with the interactions of living & non-living things in our air by exploring plant, insect, wild animal, and human relationships to the sky. Through hands-on science experiments, guest speakers, field trips, and student research, Young Environmental Stewards had the opportunity to explore Aeroecology.
