Hughes Middle School Students to Explore Earth Science on No Child Left Inside Day
Students at Hughes Middle School will be joined by scientists from the the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the American Geological Institute (AGI) for the kickoff of a three-day hands-on exploration of Earth science at nearby Beaver Pond beginning at 9 a.m. on No Child Left Inside Day, Tuesday, October 14. Hughes Middle School is a Fairfax County public school. No Child Left Inside is the theme of Earth Science Week, October 12-18, when various government agencies and nonprofit organizations offer students the opportunity to participate in outdoor activities. Every seventh grade Hughes student will hike to the nearby pond on October 14 to measure the amount of water flowing in a stream, test the chemistry of the water, take soil samples, identify rocks, learn about organisms found in the streams, and map the area, recording observations in a field notebook. The field notebooks, made possible by contributions from USGA and Rite in the Rain, include all-weather writing paper and charts on types of clouds, soils, and geological map symbols. The students, who are enrolled in Life Science, will complete related activities over a three-day period during Earth Science Week, integrating science with activities in art, English, math, and social studies.
