Threading through all these activities, were opportunities to use new technologies and media skills. Frog and toad species were collected, measured, photographed and released. With the help of high school mentors, students performed six different water tests at each site. Students returned to school and spent several weeks evaluating, analyzing, and entering data on the national online database. They made a real and new contribution to a scientific investigation, and they performed like professionals.
Information collected during the field trip is displayed in the table below.
