Our project is different form the usual Trout in the Classroom presentation where a Biologist or Mentor teaches the curriculum. The High School sutdents teach the elementary students. In our Trout in the Classroom Project, elementary students are taught by having hands-on learning as well as a lecture. We raise rainbow trout in the two classroom fish tanks- one in the 5th grade classroom, and on in the Advanced Biology Classroom. We teach 5th and 2nd grade students about our native trout. The students watch and raise trout from the egg stage to the fry stage. The 5th grade students feed teh trout and test and record the water quality in their fish tank. As the trout grow, we give many presentations to both classes. The topics include the trout life cycle, anatomy, salmon migration, and water quality. They also get to do trout dissection and identify macroinvertbrates. In late May we release the trout fry into Fisher Pond at a Fish release party where we play the Hooks and Ladders game demonstrating the hazards of salmon migration.
