Lake becomes classroom for SV students

Monday, October 16, Susquehanna Valley High School AP Biology students participated in a field study on Seneca Lake through the Science on Seneca program at Hobart and William Smith colleges. The students collected water quality data and investigated invasive mussel species while on the boat. They were joined on the adventure by teachers Sydelle Stewart, Michael Pixley and Erin Robertson.

Here is a description of the program from their website:
"Science on Seneca (SOS), an EPA-award-winning environmental education program, is a middle and high school educational outreach program of the Finger Lakes Institute at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. The goals of Science on Seneca are to provide students with an interesting experience in the collection, analysis and sharing of scientific data and to amass baseline data on Seneca Lake's major features. The Science on Seneca field trip experience provides students with an opportunity to conduct field-based data collection using state-of-the art equipment."
