In November 2005, our class worked with some students from the University of Vermont who were working to improve our nature trails. One day, the UVM students brought some of their equipment to our school and we went down to the pond and trails to look for aquatic invertebrates.

This poster presentation will explain what several 5th grade students from Salisbury Community School learned about aquatic invertebrates. 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.
