We received 55 Chum salmon on Wednesday and Div. 9 was filled with excitement! Have a look at the video where you will see the salmon eggs being dropped into our tank.  We are carefully watching them and adding up “Accumulated Thermal Units” to track their development as they approach the next stage.

Behind the scenes, we are learning about habitats (streams and oceans), collecting data (accumulated thermal units), and learning about life cycles.  We are also continuing to build understanding of indigenous perspectives with regards to salmon and environmental stewardship.
