5th Grade Trip to Coolcrest and Martha Lafite Nature Center

We learned about the angle of reflection in order to help us in mini golf.  We also had to use the correct amount of force when hitting the ball which took some practice.  The slope also caused some problems, but most of us improved by the end of the 18 holes.  Then we headed to Martha Lafite Nature Sanctuary where we learned about wetland habitats.  We waded in the creek to catch crawdads, water gliders, frogs, and many other critters. The students also worked with our naturalist to test the pH, turbidity, and depth of the creek water.
