This week, the grade 10 TOPS students began training for their upcoming science expedition to Algonquin Park! Students assembled at the Hilton Falls Conservation Area to embark upon an approximate 22 km hike. Over the duration of this hike, students conducted experiments at various sample stations, testing for albedo levels, water conductivity, turbidity, flow rate, B-field, air temperature etc. Simulations at Hilton Falls have been designed with the intent to best prepare the students for the various sample stations they will analyze at Algonquin Park in May.
