Tomorrow we will be looking at pong plankton because I trekked through knee deep snow behind the school to the pond to collect a sample. Good thing I have my Peruvian Rubber boots and some fleece pants to keep me warm and dry! (notice how you cannot even see my boots... that's because they are covered in the snow!)
Plankton pond sample? Yes the pond was frozen, but along the edges where the sun shine there was about a one foot gap where the water could be seen... and the plants and plankton were growing. I scooped two samples - one green and one mucky bottom water and tramped back through the snow up to the school. I got my workout today!
