Gotta catch em allllll. PFLAUMER’S ENVIRO CLASS! Still working on the jingle.

Here’s a summer update of our school’s land lab that has been dedicated as a pollinator habitat!

Students traveled to Snyder Park and to Springfield Promise Garden, not just to learn more about the content being discussed in class but also to actively contribute to their community through service work! Happy Earth Day!

Environmental Science students served as citizen scientists for ODNR and made observations of wildlife during the Total Solar Eclipse. You can see all of the observations that were contributed here: inaturalist.org/projects/ohio-…

Environmental Science students have compiled water quality data on samples from around Clark County and beyond. They tested nitrate, phosphate, and bacterial counts in their samples. You can check out their data using this map! google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi…

We are starting off the semester learning about ecosystems dynamics, with a focus on decomposers. Today, students prepared their own mushroom bags to cultivate three kinds of oyster mushrooms.

Thank you to the Springfield Water Treatment plant for the tour today!

We had the chance to listen and talk to 2023 @WorldFoodPrize Laureate, Heidi Kuhn, this morning! #rootsofpeace

Student delegates have been busy networking and listening to panels from experts.

A day filled with roundtable discussion and Borlaug Dialogues. Finishing things off with a tour of the Hall of Laureates.

District Soil Judging today for these members!

Congrats to these young women in STEM..completing their project interviews for National FFA Agriscience Fair this week! Excited to see you all on stage in Nov at FFA National Convention! 🧑🏻‍🔬@GIAcademy @FFA_GISA

Students have been putting their lab skills to the test to find the best method to extract pollen from honey samples!

We have a meeting Thursday night at 7:00 in the JLT for our Alaska trip coming up in June 2024. We have students already going on the trip, but this is designed for students newly interested in the trip. If you have questions, please contact Mr. Spohler at sspohler@gisaoh.org

A great day spent with @NourishFuture at Waterman Farms learning about fermentation in livestock digestion, soybean aphids, and beneficial insects.

Today students have collected data from their pan traps that were set yesterday. They used their samples to calculate biodiversity index and identified common names and scientific names of their collected insects!
