Sturgeon measurement- Annie T.


Note from Mrs. Couch- I was remiss in posting these as they were written, so these are retrospective blog posts from the 17-18 school year. 🕘

On September 18, 2017 we measured sturgeon at TNACI. These sturgeon were a few weeks old. Most had already been released the week before. We gathered about 30 from each tank in a bucket and measured them by holding them against a ruler.

Clay taught us how to get a random sample by getting them from different parts of the tank. After one was measured, someone took it back to the tank.

Aria recorded the measurements in a data table, but the information is currently unavailable. We had to give some of the sturgeon their own unique names. Mr. Grinch was angry with us and didn’t want to be measured. Squirmy didn’t want to be measured, but he was nice about it.

Finally, Zoe 101 measured 101cm. We had a really fun time and this was one of my favorite things we’ve done.
