...all hands and minds were engaged as teams of teachers worked together to see if a certain species was in their quadrat (or not).
...teachers made initial assessments of their study areas.
...two curious middle school students checked out what the teachers were up to. They found it both odd and exciting to see teachers learning during the summer.
...teachers circled up to debrief their investigation.
...Alexa ran the investigation show (check out that tidy equipment at her feet).
...Later teachers visited the beach to learn how to set up a transect survey.
