Ocmulgee Field Trip

In this lab, we went to Ocmulgee Indian Reservation. The only problem was that Leslie made us late and we missed the class leaving.  So we decided to try and find the class.  We proceeded to search for the next hour and ten minutes trying to find the class.  Luckily, we documented our search.  The pictures below show us on our adventure through the Ocmulgee Indian Reservation in an effort to find the class.

Jackson Springs

We recently went to Jackson Springs for a lab.  One of the highlights of this lab was of course when Garret slipped on the rocks and fell into the water.  We talked about the problems with contaminated water and how we help those who would rely on that water for fish among other things.  The fall line through middle Georgia was also discussed.

Community Garden

During this lab, we went to the local community garden and looked at the soil there.  We collected several samples and measured what they are.  We used Munsell's soil chart to distinguish the soil.  The soil we chose was 7.5 yr 4/4.  We also learned about how lead from old paints on houses can get into the soil on some community gardens.  This causes problems in highly urban areas because of the high use of lead based paints.
