In November 2005 Shannon Gmyrek from Middlebury College came to our class to work with us. We got to see a sediment corer and a sediment grabber. Shannon brought in a 3D map of Lake Champlain and it's depths.


This poster presentation will explain what two 5th grade students from Salisbury Community School learned about sediment coring in the Arctic. 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.
