Students Study River Ecology
|
Redford, Michigan - Ninth grade students from Chandler Park Academy, a charter school, study the ecology of the Rouge River, which flows through many suburban Detroit communities before emptying into the Detroit River. They were participating in the annual Rouge Education Project in which students from dozens of schools monitor biological, chemical, and physical characteristics of the river. Teacher Chris Trepanowski retrieves material from the river bottom so students can search for living creatures.
