We started off our adventure full Thursday by meeting in the River fellows room and getting a physics lesson from Mr. Haynes about polarized glasses. Then we got on the bus and started our journey to Chickamauga creek to meet with the aquarium to go seine fishing. Once we reached our destination we met Dr. George and David and started getting all our waders on and got a demonstration of how to catch the fish with the seine.
We ended up with lots of fish and many different species. After we caught the fish we put them in little aquariums and tried to identify them from their fins, markings, colors, etc.
After we finished seine we ate out by the creek and then journaled what species we caught and identified. After that we loaded back up on the bus and headed to Camp Jordan to meet with Ms. Kurtz who is a part of the South Chickamauga Creek Greenway Alliance (SCCGA) where she talked to us about what is really going on in our community and the environment and how we can speak up for change in the environment by having data and laws to do what is right for the community.
Afterwards we went back to GPS where we did some debriefing and talked about what we learned and what observations we had made through the day.
