The Sixth Grade Trip
By Nathaniel and Hanna
Next week, the 6th graders are going to Vantage. On this trip, the students will be exploring rocks, studying the rock formations, plate tectonics and will continue building understanding of geology in their science class. On Monday, they will be stopping at Grand Coulee Dam and will be spending the night at Sun Lake/Dry Falls State Park. There, the students are going to study the geology of the Glacial Missoula Floods. From there, they will follow the flood water downstream to a rock climbing area near Vantage. Where they will improve their rock climbing skills that were acquired in the fall trip. The trip leaders are Lauren, Glyn, Mike and Michelle along with experts from the YMCA BOLD/GOLD program.
