04-30-20 NOSC Macro Lesson

For my weekly Chimacum Elementary School 6th grade Science Zoom Meeting I was privileged to have the Education and Outreach Associate from the North Olympic Salmon Coalition (https://nosc.org/) teach a lesson to students on benthic macroinvertebrates and the role they play in our creek!


NOSC has been partnering with our schools and specifically my 6th grade students for more than 16 years and this year with schools closed I didn't think we would be connecting. But thanks to Rian Plastow, a former Chimacum Schools graduate and a graduate of Evergreen State College where she got a B.A. and a B.S. with an emphasis on ecology and environmental chemistry, my students got to learn about macros from someone who is actually working on water quality and habitat restoration in our neighborhood!


This was such a treat and I recorded the whole lesson for those who missed it.
