MarineLab and Spring Break in the Keys ... now back to work!

Some pictures from the Science trip to MarineLab in Key Largo during Spring Break ...  below, kayaking at Silver Springs.

Sunrise at Flemingo in the Everglades ... it was beautiful but the mosquitos were in abundance!

Mr. Byrn getting a close up of an 8' alligator running away from us.  We had been on a hiking trail nearby and it was at the side of the road as we were leaving.  I am reminded of what my sister says, "You don't have to be the fastest to get away ... just not the slowest!"

Students working during a invertebrate survey at MarineLab ... the rock shake lab!

Next two pictures were at the Butterfly House in Key West.  Hundreds of mostly tropical and sub-tropical butterflies raise by butterfly farms.  I am not sure how I feel about that but, they were beautiful.

Whenever we would stop to camp ... everyone had to charge up ... can't do without that cell phone and social media!

Spring break is over and now back to work.  AP Exam on the horizon and we will review after school on Mondays and Thursdays.  Computer Programming I will be finishing Visual BASIC and moving on to Scratch programming.  Computer Programming II will continue their project rotation and wrap up Python.  The Selected Topics class is finishing ecology before starting a unit on organ systems and a dissection.

Six weeks of school remains with lots of interruptions ...
