Science  Camp 

For ages 10 -15
July 11-16, 2011

Topic: Exploring Ecology

Main themes this year are Aquatic Ecology & Forest Ecology.  We will compare the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of a pond and a river and learn about watersheds and water quality monitoring. We will also learn about habitats, niches, and food webs and become more familiar with the woods of Machen Camp and the animals that live there. While at camp we will also keep daily nature journals of our activities.
