Jon Michael, a rising junior at Trinity High School, and his team recently extracted leaf cutter ant colonies from the rain forest. They have placed them in a controlled environment that will be used to conduct experiments over the next few days.
Brendan, a rising junior at Trinity High School, describes one of several small experiments the students conduct to develop a working knowledge of "experimental design" and the "scientific method". Eventually, students will develop group projects designed to save the cacao trees from being eaten by leaf cutter ants.
Big thanks to all the parents that reached out to help us return to Louisville. We especially want to thank Mrs. Lisa Tuell and Mrs. Smith for their help getting us a place to stay and some delicious food. Muchas Gracias! We had a wonderful trip and look forward to the Student Presentations, Thursday night at 7pm.
