Life is learning. I learned what an alevin is today. An alevin is the term used for a trout or salmon that is newly hatched, before it becomes a fry.  What is really neat to me is that I did not learn it by coming across the term in the dictionary or some blog post.  I learned it by seeing it with my own eyes, right in my own school! White Oak Intermediate School is involved in a hands-on Science project thanks to the efforts of Scott Floyd and Michael Gras. Scott Floyd’s son and my own 5th grader are part of a crew that monitors the water each morning.  I knew something was up this afternoon when I returned to the computer lab from putting students on the bus to find my child missing.  I immediately grabbed my flip video camera and headed to the Science Lab.  Sure enough, I found Mr. Floyd with his son and my son by the aquarium.  Below is the video I shot of the event.  You can keep up with this project by subscribing to the White Oak Intermediate Science Lab blog.  Click on the Aquarium Cam tab at the top to see the live cam.  Feel free to leave a comment and tell us what you think will happen to the alevin anomaly.
