MTMS 6th grade students participate in an Aqua Explorers field trip and beach clean up sponsored by Heal the Bay and Project Wet. It was a great opportunity to learn about how we can and should take care of the earth!
Students run back and forth between the cement and Perry “Happy” Balian’s garden at Mark Twain Middle School. They are taking readings of the ambient temperature in both places for Balian’s lesson on Urban Heat Islands. Balian said students understand the concept that cities can be hotter than the countryside due to a lack of vegetation using his garden experiment.
