Sailing, Navigation, Science & Iron Chef Teams worked hard to prepare for Challenge Day, building on their knowledge and critical thinking and collaboration skills as they navigated the Carlyn through the Salish Sea while testing silica and zooplankton. We’re feeling like our future is in pretty good hands…
There’s nothing like a crisp fall day on the Salish Sea to jump-start our 2019 fall season! Unless you’re spending that day with eager-to-learn students like our crew from the Odyssey Multiage Program… And you’re welcomed by friendly, waving ferry passengers… And a curious sea lion.. And a seal, too… And plankton – lots and lots of plankton…
We kicked off the last trip of our spring season with a fun group of ladies from the Western Washington Girl Scouts who were big fans of the science even if they didn’t fully appreciate our sailing fashions.
Perfect weather for our ninth grade students from The Sage School to tackle Challenge Day – which they managed with great success!
From the (not so) tall to the very, very small… The kids from LaConner witnessed lots of wildlife in their habitat today from seals napping on rocks to the plankton they collected from (and later returned to) the Salish Sea and viewed under the laboratory microscopes.
Another beautiful Pacific Northwest day for sailing. Our 6th and 7th graders from LaConner Middle School took to it like otters to water and got a great start on their science investigations!
Fittingly, a day of blue skies accompanied more science and sailing lessons followed by rain and windy conditions setting the backdrop for our Challenge Day. That didn’t slow down our Manson Options students a single bit, though…
An absolutely gorgeous day to be out on the water with our eastern WA students from Manson Middle School Options. The kids caught sight of some harbor porpoises frolicking between the islands while we sailed and ‘scienced’.
After an overnight stay on Cypress Island, our intrepid Villa Academy 7th grade crew found that today’s Challenge Day came with the added trial of cool, rainy weather…
