Bryn Mawr Elementary 4th Grade Gets the Opportunity to Learn About Salmon Life Cycles

Our Fourth Graders had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Renton Environmental Science Center field trip called "Salmon Heroes" on October 20th at the Cedar River near the Renton Community Center.

We were able to learn about the five Pacific salmon (Pink, Coho, Chinook, Sockeye, Chum) by doing field observations and surveys. We learned about the lifecycle of a salmon, drew a scientific illustration of a salmon, tested and surveyed the Cedar River for water quality, and learned about the parts of the salmon, even exploring a real salmon using our senses of sight and touch. We also played a game that simulated the challenges the salmon faces in its lifecycle.

Thank you to the Renton Environmental Science Center, PTA and to our many chaperones that made this field learning possible!
