It was great being outside in the sunny Bryn Mawr environment. Every opportunity to get outside with your students must be utilized. The inquiry based lessons we experienced today demonstrates the importance of hands on activities. This year's activity at the pond were more meaningful-maybe because Wil agreed to be at the water's edge! I enjoyed taking time measurements with the stopwatch, but I was grateful to not do any calculations (beyond my knowledge). I know I can use similar activities on fieldtrips, and when I return to my school, I am going on a search for the storm drains adjacent to the parking lots.
