Freshmen finished up their pond labs this week. Students examined the relationship between abiotic and biotic factors while building food chains and webs, as well as a biogeochemical cycle out of pictures they took as they explored the biodiversity that this habitat has to offer. They were also able to explore the microscopic organisms in the pond by viewing samples of pond water under our microscopes.
