10th Grade

10th Grade Field Trip Information

WHEN YOU VISIT: October - early November. SPASH tenth graders travel to BSF with your biology class. Because your teacher may not be with you, all parents & students must also sign a Permission Form, Behavior & Effort Contract, and be in good academic/behavior standing to be eligible to attend. 

WHAT YOU DO: Most biology classes take part in a 9-week study called the Eco-Jar Project. At the Boston School Forest, you'll conduct water quality tests on Ellingboe Pond and record your observations. We will compare the results of your Eco-Jar tests with those conducted at the actual pond and draw conclusions. After lunch, we'll take a nature hike through the woods.

WHAT TO BRING: October and November can be warm or quite cold and snowy. Please dress in layers including long-sleeve shirt, jacket, and long pants. You may also choose to bring hats and mittens. We spend most of the day outside so it's best to be prepared. You will also need to bring your own lunch and a water bottle.
