On May 21, I went on Inland Seas field trip. It was a good one. I learned
a lot about sailing and the lakes. My favorite was the lab. A ship needs
two masts to be a schooner. We netted fish, plankton, and we also
switched around to stations. I learned how to drive a ship. Then we
raised the sails. After we docked and left. It was a good time learning
about the lakes. ~D'Angelo W.
On May 22nd Mrs. Brown took us to
Suttons Bay. The boat we took was a small schooner it had a for sail and
mainsail. The otter trawl catches fish and it's about 25 ft. long. My
group was called the hogs as in the Harley Davidson's motorcycles. The
hogs were me, Trent, and Ben J. They catch plankton with a plankton net
at 50 ft deep. I found out that they barely ever get good weather.

On May, 21 Monday Mrs. Bennett and
Mrs. Brown's class went to the Inland Ship Schooner. Half of our class
went the 21st and the other half went 22nd. I went the 21st with my
friends Katie, Chloe, Hope, Maggie, McKenna and Olivia. We had to get up
early. I got up at 6 o'clock. Maggie, Olivia, McKenna were in my group.
Our group name was Anchors Away. It took us an hour and a half to get to
Suttons Bay. When we got to the visitors center it was really cool I saw
a bike that the people found in the lake and it was covered with zebra
mussels. That was my favorite part of the visitors center. Then we went
to the boat! We had to enter one by one. Tim the instructor said that he
was going to blow a horn it was not as loud as I expected. When we where
on the boat Katie, Hope, Mckenna and I volunteered to put an otter troll
in the lake. An otter trall is a big net that catch fish. I was very
cold I froze. The part I liked the best was the plankton station. It was
fun to see all the little plankton hopping around. I also liked the part
where we got to drive the boat. We had to say the repeat commands so we
didn't turn the wrong way. Then we went back to the dock and we saw baby
geese. Then we ate lunch on the bus because we didn't have any time to
stop. ~Kelsey K.

On May 21, my class went on a cool
field trip. We got to ride on a Schooner! We even got to steer it! We
all became scientists for the day. We got to look at plankton under a
microscope. I thought I was going to sink the ship when I steered it. It
is a really old boat and it worked really great, well that's pretty
obvious because it got us back safely. It was a really fun trip! My
favorite part was when I steered the boat. The steering wheel is big and
black. The plankton looked cool under the microscope. We got to dig into
mud and look for living creatures. The ship has two masts. We also got
to do chemistry, we got to learn about water sheds, and look at fish we
caught. The crew put a line of doom on deck so we know not to cross it.
They also said that the bus ride here is probably more dangerous than
sailing on the ship itself. It was a fun trip! ~Jarrett B.
On May 22 fifth grade went to Inland
lakes tall ship. On this field trip the class learned stuff. The ship
was at Suttons bay. On the ship we learned what invasive species were in
the Bay and how they got in. Our class also learned what ship it a
Schooner. Our class also saw how clear the water is we use a device call
a Secchi disk. We caught Plankton with a Plankton Net. We caught fish
with a net using a Device called Otter Trawl. We learned that they had a
special permit to catch fish with a net. So it wasn't illegal. We also
took a water sample with a device called Van Dorn. To see what the PH
level was. Also the Dissolved Oxygen level. Our class had a great Field
Trip. ~Rylan C.
On May 22nd we went to Suttons Bay.
Their were five groups my group was Asian Zombies. Aric, Blake, and Me
were in Asian Zombies. I learned that a Otter Trawl is a fishing net.
The kind of boat we were on was a Schooner boat. I learned that a Secchi
Disk is something used to see how far you can see down. A Seechi Disk Is
Black and White. It was something I want to do again! ~Jared N.
