NCTC Seeds

DJ and Sam planted seeds. We put soil on the bottom of trays, placed seeds on top, and covered with the soil to see which seeds germinate. Once they germinate, they will be transferred to planters. http://picasaweb.google.com/deborah.stevens.stevens/NCTCSeeds#

(NCTC donated 50 bags of seeds collected from the NCTC property in Shepherdstown, WV. The students will take the seed that germinate and transfer the seedlings to planters. In effect, Musselman is starting a native plant nursery. Our goal is to use genetically local native plants for the bioremediation.)

Wet Team Meets

Our Wet Team had a meeting today 3/3/10 in 5th period . We trained on the internet on cacaponinstitute.org and globe.gov. The members that attented it were Sam, Dustin, Tara, Breanna, Tyler, Cody Lyza, Elizabeth, Jacqueline, DJ, Nicole, Vasyl, Ashley, Samantha, Robert, Brandon, Jessica, and Misti.

Stream cleaner

Rachel , Fourth period. Our Class went to Cacaponinstitute.org, and went to E-school, high school. We had to watch the slide show, then we did the stream cleaner activity.
Matt says 'it's like a sims game but not as fun." Steven played this game before and almost beat it. Missy says she likes the puzzles. Josh says "its complicated, he can't beat it." Brandon says "it's cool to see how we have messed the streams up and how we can save them." Robert says "its fun and educational, its Funducational." David Says "it's AMAZIN'."

Shed

On December 8th and 10th, members of the WET team, Dustin, Christopher , Samantha helped by Natalie , Tyler , Rachel and Dylan constructed a shed at Musselman High School. They built the shed to store all of the tools we’re going to need this year for all of our projects, as well as so we can access them at any particular time we need them.

Team WET

10-20-09
Shawnee Girl Scouts (now part of Nations Capital) is sponsoring WET clubs, now called WET at Musselman High School. Danielle Amistadi is in the process of organizing WET as a school club. She is preparing club passes, roster, posting notices for teachers, getting approval with the principal, and publicizing the club. There are about 40 students enrolled. Attendance after school has been scant; consequently, Danielle has made all the arrangements to have the group meet during club days as well as occasionally after school on Tuesdays. Shawnee provided green tee shirts; the club is waiting on paint supplies to decorate the shirts. More information will follow.

AGW launches!

10-20-09
Frank Rodgers (Cacapon Institute) delivered an introduction to over 350 students; his presentation included an introduction to watershed dynamics, best management practices, the e-school on the Cacapon Institute's website, and an overview to Musselman's AGW program. Frank gave presentations each class period, all day. Mr. Hartman, Ms. Raines, Mr. Rickman, Mrs. Stevens, and Mrs. Waterworth participated in this event. The program was well received. Musselman High is creating Project Based Learning (PBL) models for the watershed curriculum. This presentation serves as the "entry event", which is part of the PBL model.
