Fifth-grade students at Rehoboth Elementary School became junior scientists for a day as they explored aquatic life at Silver Lake.

Students from Jacqueline Kisel and Cody Smith’s science classes examined the biodiversity of Silver Lake Oct. 26 as part of a workshop hosted by Envirotech Inc. and Save Our Lakes Alliance3. This is the eighth year in a row SOLA3 and Envirotech have offerred the workshop.

The students identified invertebrates found in the lake and used the number of critters they discovered as a way to determine the lake’s biodiversity.
