For the second year, the Natural Resources class is preparing for another smolt release this spring and would like to continue expanding the curriculum and the partnership by engaging students at the Munising Middle-High School in hands-on water quality studies of the local Lake Superior Watershed, including the Anna River and its tributaries. Science teacher Hilary Ludecke is working with the Rotary International Club of Munising, the Alger Conservation District (ACD), and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) to raise Chinook Salmon In The Classroom. In order to conduct these hands-on studies Mrs. Ludecke and the students need to raise enough money to purchase a classroom set of Vernier probes and sensors, as well as software to analyze the data collected, and much more.
