Down by the Riverside
Down by the Riverside was started in 2005 by Jim Mundell to educate youth on the importance of Netarts Bay health. Activities include:
Chutes and Ladders, where students investigate barriers to salmon in rivers; Build-A-Bug, where students explore the adaptations of macro-invertebrates; Riparian Animals, where students classify bones and skulls and use structure to determine function of the animal; Amphibians, where students learn about the types of amphibians and their function in the watershed; and Leaf Prints, where students learn to identify plants and use spray paint to create silhouettes of leaves.

3rd Grade Science Fair
Students work on a science project for 1.5 months, keeping a notebook of collected data, research, and notes and organizing a display of their project.
These students are expected to display and show how they followed the scientific method (problem, hypothesis, procedure, results, and conclusion) while showing their own originality. Students bring their projects together at the Science Fair and then explain their project to judges through interviews and Q & A. |
Our Community Science Coaches Rock!

Bayocean's Demise
Beginning in the 1930's, nature drew Bayocean toward its inevitable demise.
In 1951, The Spit breached and the town was abandoned.
Francis Drake Mitchell and his wife as well as Lewis and Hilda Bennett were the last of Bayocean's residents. By ####, the once-glittering jewel of the West coast was an abandoned memory represented by broken boards and spectral mementos of times past.
