Grade 10 BWET

1. Grade 10 BWET Pre-assessment

Sturgis Charter School is most fortunate to have been awarded a grant by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to apply our classroom learning to a natural laboratory, the estuarine environment of Town Neck Beach, Sandwich. This is a brand-new program being developed by your science teachers! The results of this program will be shared nationwide and perhaps act as an educational model for other schools.
This survey is to identify what you already know about the topics that are the focus of our B-Wet (Bay Watershed Education Training) program. You will take a similar survey after your field trip. Data from these surveys will help us determine in what areas our program was successful and where we need to improve. Each year, your feedback will be instrumental in making this new program the best it can be.
So please, take the survey seriously and answer all the questions as best you can. If you have any comments or questions, you may contact me at cgallo@sturgischarterschool.org
Thanks- Mrs. Gallo, Science Lead Teacher and B-Wet Program Co-ordinator
