4th Grade River Work!

Okay, gang, here's the deal. We're heading out on October 19th to study the French Broad River. Yes, we're getting in the river. Yes, we're getting wet and dirty! Yes, we're having fun while we learn about the river and it's inhabitants!

Our hosts will be scientists from RiverLink, a local organization dedicated to helping keep our rivers safe and healthy.

Prior to this work, I need you to find out about the French Broad River. Where does it start and where does it go? What lives in and around it? How clean is it? What can we do to protect it?

Don't be limited to these questions!! What are your thoughts on this matter?

Mrs. Eggett, our tech guru extraordinaire, is going to help you focus your thoughts with a Google doc. Here are some links to help you begin your work.
