Last week our class went to BEEC. We went to explore the vernal pool. The first thing we did is set up our lab with a tray, bucket, nets, magnifying glasses, and a recording sheet. Then we gathered water in a pail and dumped it in our tray to observe it better. We noticed organisms moving in the water. One of them was a salamander larva. Have you ever been to a vernal pool? I enjoyed going to learn about many organisms. It was fun. By Bobby

Our class went to BEEC last week. We worked in groups to look at organisms in labs. To look closer at them we used some nets, magnifying tools, buckets, and recording sheets. We found diving beetles and copepods. There are a lot of living things in the vernal pool. By Rylee

Read on to learn about some organisms we found.
