Post Yoga session; more of a nap time for some of us.
This is the creek, calm and directing that flows in my backyard.

This is the rain, heavy and cool, which falls onto the roads, cracked and eroded, that lead to the drain, metal and enduring, which flows over the rocks, rugged and grey, that form the sand, course and grainy that holds the plants, lively and plentiful that feed the fish, luminescent and scaly that swim in the creek, calm and directing that flows in my backyard.
Third Day: May 21, 2018
Today we visited people from the City of Dayton Department of Water. Members from this organization came to our school, and in groups, we rotated to each station to learn about water testing in Dayton. We first visited a station about on site testing of water; we then sat for a lecture about aquafers in the area. Other groups we visited included a group of men who managed cameras placed into the pipes for video recording, and members from the water quality plant. We ended the stations with creating drafts of storm drain murals, which are painted on the storm drains across Dayton. After lunch, we created a repetitious poem in groups.
Today was different from the days prior, as we learned some topics related to science instead of visiting parks or going on walks. I thought this experience was interesting, mostly the water testing station. My group members and I had previous knowledge and experience from a project in our chemistry class where we samples water from different sites across Dayton. We answered most of the representative’s questions with what we learned previously. As usual, we ended the day with a session of yoga; I was too tired to participate, so I took a nap instead.
