Recently, during science class SAS sixth graders have been immersed in watershed and ecology units, with a strong focus on Austin-area environmental engagement. Students detailed the Shoal Creek watershed and Austin area as a part of the Shoal Creek Map Project, said science teachers Selesha Subnaik and  Emma DeVine. 

As part of the Shoal Creek Map Project, students are creating a detailed map of the Shoal Creek watershed and the greater Austin area to explore our campus's geographic relationship to the creek and identify possible sources of pollution that may impact its health, they continued. 

Complementing this project, students also conducted a  study of Shoal Creek. Their study concluded in a formal lab report that analyzed their findings.

To enrich these hands-on experiences, Austin Youth River Watch was invited to lead students in an on-site field experience with students, guiding them through water testing activities and highlighting the importance of their role in protecting Austin’s water resources. 

Check out highlights from this hands-on watershed stewardship experience!
