Fifth grade students took a field trip to Wells Reserve at Laudholm Farms in Wells.
Students learned about the interdependence of estuary creatures and their habitats in the great outdoors. Activities included testing the salinity of estuary water, seeing ducks, fish and other aquatic animals, discovering the skulls and skins of local wildlife.
Students used a watershed model to explore how humans impact estuaries. Students also explored the trails, habitats, the beach and ended the day with a picnic.
