TRIAGE

TRIAGE students, thank you for last week. I was impressed with your dedication to improving your observations skills and the work investigating the factors that effect Painted Lady caterpillar movement. The number of observations recorded and the amount of data amassed was truly remarkable. Scientists need to be able to make detailed observations. We are on our way!

The study of caterpillars was a great way to prepare us for TRIAGE this week at Meijer Gardens. While we are waiting for our caterpillars to transform into Painted Lady butterflies, we will catch a preview of what’s to come by viewing the Foremost’s Butterfly exhibit.

A reminder to meet at 3:30, instead of 3:45, at Meijer Garden, instead of the Bunker Center and that pick up time is at 5:00, instead of 6:00.

Please meet me at the entrance to the Garden building where I will review museum manners as described by the personnel at the Gardens:

Please stay with your group at all times.
Please use quiet voices, and be good listeners.
For your safety as well as that of the plants, please stay on the garden paths.
Observe the sculptures as closely as you like, but please refrain from touching unless you are in the Children’s Garden.
Please move about carefully. Running indoors is not allowed.
Please be considerate of our other visitors, and respectful of our property.

We will be ambassadors of TRIAGE, NSF and Calvin College. That is a big responsibility but I am convinced we are up to the challenge.

I am looking forward to seeing you and sharing this experience with all of you.

Coach Eriks
