Interpretation with Barret Miller

Tomorrow Barret Miller is coming to our outdoor ed class to teach us about interpretation. Some of the question I might ask (related to my stations) are:
1. What is a good technique to make the kids keep their interest on us?
2. How would I connect my game to the concept?
3. How do I deliver the information to kids and make them understand without boring them?
4. How long should I talk about the information of my station, before I start explaining my game?
5. When would I ask questions, during the interpretation?
6. Is it important to tell the kids all of the information on the outline or should I summarize the information?
7. One of my stations is critter dipping, what would be the best way to persuade the kids to learn about the bugs?
8. What are the different styles of interpreters?

The rapids were pretty fun, I don’t think anyone got stuck at these rapids. We saw some sweepers and strainers through our whole trip. Kalean and Tyler were the first ones to get stuck, they got stuck in a sweeper. Then Jayden and Nathan got stuck on a ...

Water testing at the wetlands

on May 4th, we tested the water in our wetlands. We tested for: Phosphate= 0 Ammonia= 0.05 pH=0 Oxygen levels, temperature, conductivity, turbidity. We did these tests because we wanted to see how clean the water is and weather the water is safe to drink. We found that the water is not safe to drink and that is somewhat due to the beavers that live In our wetlands.
