Louise McMinn, an eighth grade science teacher from Scofield, recently traveled to Churchill, Manitoba for an Earthwatch "Live in the Field" experience, funded by HSBC bank. Lousie spent ten days studying the effects of climate change on the vegetation and soil.

While in Churchill, Louise video conferenced with her students and parents. Students communicated with her on a daily basis via her Earthwatch blog. Louise will continue to integrate her research and photos throughout the year as her students study geology and climate change. Recently, Louise presented her experience at the Connecticut Science Teachers' annual conference
