BIOS Here We Come

On May 18th, 2010, 24 students and 3 teachers from the Sound School will board a plane bound for Bermuda for a 6-day stay at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS). During our stay at BIOS, students will study and work with scientists, naturalists, and educators based at the station along with Sound School staff. We will work in the field, in the water, and at local institutions to learn about the native and indigenous flora and fauna of Bermuda. This year, we will work with BIOS staff on a habitat restoration project as well.

Each night, students will participate in a lecture and quizzes to review what they learned each day. Throughout their stay, students will work in small groups to research an area of particular interest to them, create and present a PowerPoint to their peers.
