May 23 were
going to sail on The Manitou or The Traverse City
Tall Ship. When we got there we found out we
couldn't go on the ship because it was rocking up
and down and side to side. So instead we went to
Suttons Bay and went in the building. We rotated
around to different stations. First everyone did
weather tests. My group was put with Instructor
Linda Garver. We called our group "Group Hydro". It
was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit and I learned how to
turn that into Celsius numbers. First you subtract
30 from your Fahrenheit number, then divide that by
2. I got 12 & 1/2. Then our group went to the fish
station. Chloe and I got to catch them. The next
station we went to was the Benthos station. We had
to stick our fingers in the mud. It was a little
gritty. Then we went to the water chemistry. That
was my favorite. We did three more stations after
that: the plankton station, the invasive species
station, and the Great Lakes station. By the time we
finished and went to the gift shop, I was HUNGRY!!!
We ate lunch on the bus. Even though we didn’t get
to ride the ship, it was fun. ~Eleanor

On Thursday
May 23 my class went on a field trip. We were
supposed to go on a boat in the water but the boat
was rocking too much. So we learned about fish and
water. I wish we could of went on a boat. It was
still fun though!

The tall
ship was a fun trip. We didn't get to go out on the
water because the water was to ruff. The ship was
big what we saw of it. We had to go in a bill den
for a couple hours. We had FUN!!! ~Cody H.

Our class
took a really fun felled trip to the tall ship even
though it got pushed inside. We learned about water
and how it’s important to are environment. I learned
about new ways to save energy. ~Emma

The field
trip was fun. One of the bad parts was that we could
not go on the ship but we still had a good time. We
learned a lot about plankton. One of the things we
learned was that plankton make up 80 percent of the
air we breathe. This field trip was very fun. ~Dalron

I went to
the tall ship. We could not go on the ship because
of the high waves. It was still fun though.

On Thursday we went to the Manitou. It was in
Traverse City. When we go there it was too rough. So
we didn’t get to go. Instead we went to a center. We
did different activities. It was very cool even
though we didn’t get to go on the boat. ~Hanna

When we got
to the ship the boat was rocking back and forth. So
we could not go cause of the winds. Then the people
told us we had to go to Sutton's Bay. We got to do
every thing the same but inside. The only things we
didn't get to do where pull the anchor up and put up
the sails. ~Ella

I was so
happy that we my class and I were going to go on a
ship. First we were going to go on the Manitou and
then we had to go on the Inland Seas instead because
it was too wavy. We got to identify fish and then
we got to dig through sediment and find benthos we
also got to find out the weather and find plankton.
The field trip was so much fun. ~Colleen

On Thursday
we went to Traverse City to go on the Manitou sail
boat. It was cold, rainy, and windy. Because of the
wind we couldn't go on the ship. So we went in a
building and did what we would have done on the
ship. It was interesting/ ~Travis R.

0n Thursday
May 23, we went to the inland seas education center
in Suttons Bay. We went on a boat called the
Manitou. We learned about sediment and plankton
mostly. We also learned about evasive species that
are bad to the great lakes. It was a lot of fun
looking at plankton through a microscope. it was a
lot of fun and I hope to go again soon. ~Gabriel
