The Vernal Pool Association is a student organization. As such, we like to encourage other students and their teachers to become involved in vernal pool studies, identification and protection. We present three topics which might be of interest to educators and their students. All are being done by classes of all ages throughout Massachusetts and beyond.
Certification requires an uncertified vernal pool.
Field Visit requires a vernal pool which the participants are able to visit. Within each project are several options to allow the project to be customized for differing abilities and interests. Activities involved would include mapping, specimen collecting and identification, photography, writing and communication, and presentation. Certification can be accomplished by students of all ages. In the past, pools have been documented by elementary and middle school classes as a group project and high school students on an individual basis.
