Back in October a Middlebury college student named Shannon gave us a power point presentation about plots and transects. We went out on the Nature Trail and learned about what plots and transects are. Some of the tools that we got introduced to are a tape measurer, and a meter stick.


This poster presentation will explain what three 5th grade students from Salisbury Community School learned about plots and transects and observing growth of vegetation. Their teacher, Amy Clapp, participated in Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating (TREC) in 2004 and 2005. These posters are part of a unit she taught in her classroom about the Arctic.
