Wetlands
Hello from Sarah, Valencia, and Sophia! We all have really different interests-from computers to horses to piano. But one thing we have in common is that we're SciGirls! SciGirls is an after-school program that encourages girls in science. We love it! And the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, North Carolina is our SciGirls headquarters. We saw a cool outdoor exhibit there on our state's wetlands. That got us inspired to try a mini-bioblitz to look for endangered species in these areas. A bioblitz is when a small group of people search through a location to see how many plants and animals live there. Our question: What plants and animals live in wetlands?
