An Idea for an Outdoor Classroom

High School Ecology Club Opens Pond Exploration Habitat.
The Washington Post (4/25, Mackey) reported that the Ecology Club at Stonewall Jackson High School, in Prince William County, Virginia, “unveiled its year-long project, a sparkling pond exploration habitat behind the school.” Under teachers Jessica Hruska, Rich Smith, and Carey Shenal, the club “envisions the area not only as a supplement to what’s taught in science class but as something that all instructors can benefit from, eventually, they hope, creating an outdoor classroom.”
