🌿🔎3rd graders as field scientists! 👩🏾🔬🌱🧑🏻🔬 For this Muddy Boots, students advanced their foundational field science skills acquired in their years at Chillicothe Primary, by applying field science processes through a comprehensive botany study.
🌼✍️📐This integrated learning experience combined life science, literacy, and real-world math applications, including perimeter, measurement, and data collection. Utilizing the citizen science app, Seek, students collaborated to identify and document native flora species. They then conducted a comparative study of the Goldenrod species, culminating in official field notes that elevated their scientific drawing skills.
🗒️🌱🙌 We are incredibly proud of our young field scientists! 💙🤍

🥾 Muddy Boots 🥾
2nd grade muddy boots is a wrap! Some of these field scientists have been learning at Muddy Boots since their first days in preschool. Every year, twice a year. 💙
We believe in this real world application of classroom learning and the competencies it builds, like compassion, communication and critical thinking. 🤍
We are so grateful for the Ross County Park District for the space and expertise that has helped cultivate these amazing experiences for our students. 🌲
❓Discussion prompts for your 2nd grade field scientist:
- Tell me about the data you documented at Muddy Boots.
- What are differences between cyclical and linear changes? Give an example.
- Tell me about your classroom learning that connected to your experience at Buzzard’s Roost.
- What is your favorite part of being a field scientist? Is this something you would want to be when you grow up?
- Is all change good?

Mrs. Stepp’s 8th grade science class used stream tables to observe the effects of erosion and deposition. Students watched as their “streams” carried sediment to a new location, creating a delta at the end of their catch basins. This was a great hands on lab to teach students about water erosion!
Last night, we recognized our Chillicothe Middle School staff for their consistent hard work and dedication, and celebrated their exemplary State Report Card results! We just want to say again how proud we are of these staff members!
