Environaut

Today, the Creek Campers went to Lake Erie to go on a boat known as the Environaut. The campers learned about the processes and protocols of research on the ship. After sailing into the lake, the activity was split into three stations. The first station was about plankton collection and microscope viewing, led by Camille. The next station was led by Cory, a worker on the Environaut, who demonstrated filtering through substrate on the lake bottom.. The last station was led by Dave, who showed varieties of tools and general data collection necessary for research on the boat. The campers learned a lot about research in beautiful freshwater lakes such as Lake Erie.
