Biology students, 3rd-graders examine Rabbit River

Wayland High School AP biology students in Lynn Gosson’s class assisted Lori Howell’s third-graders from Steeby Elementary in testing the Rabbit River for several ecological pollutants. The third grade class will come to the high school to go over the data collected with their high school partners to determine the level of pollution of the local river system and to discuss the impacts it may have on the local ecology.
