Aria has started her summer with a Ponds, Rivers and Lakes study unit. She has classroom work, experiments and videos that she does at home, but there are several outings planned for this unit.
First stop was at the boat ramp by mammy and gumps house at Bridgeport Lake. The lake has gone from over 20 foot low, to just under 2 foot low in just a few short weeks.
So gumps loaded up all his girls and drove us down to the lake. Aria brought along all the equipment she would need to do her observations.
The lake was pretty rough after the storms and we spent a few minutes just looking at the difference the rain had made.
Aria soon got started on her work gathering water, rocks and dirt from the lake. Aniyah worked at it also but didn’t collect very much in her net.
Aria needed a helping hand from gumps to get the mud and dirt.
She soon had everything she needed, so both girls spent a little time wading in the lake.
We were soon headed back home with everything that she had collected to take a closer look at it and to journal what she had seen.
She dumped her specimens into a big tub so she could see better and recorded her observations.
A great day at the lake!
