  • Exploring Raptors with Shona Aitkens researching for Mountain School Carnivores and the Bird Survey field trip at Grandma's Cove with Ranger Parsons and the National Historic Park. Students analyzed wings, feet, and skulls to identify local raptors and discuss their distinguishing characteristics. 
  • Plant Taxonomy with Dr. Fiona Norris doing research for Mountain School students explored the plant kingdom, analyzed plant characteristics, and used a dichotomous key to identify local trees and shrubs. 
  • Outdoor Lab STEAM Garden final preparation of garden beds. This very impressive group of students worked in the drizzle and dirt (rich topsoil) to put the finishing touches on the lab's garden beds.

  • Mystery eggs discovered on some spinach planted in the Outdoor Lab. The image was captured using an iPhone camera on top of the microscope. We were not able to identify the eggs so we potted the spinach plants and are growing them in the classroom inside our butterfly house.
