Bridge building? Big
deal — on Thursday and
Friday, May 26 and 27, sixth
grade science classes explored
the Siskiyou Field Institute
(SFI) in Selma and the Oregon
Caves National Monument to
learn about watersheds and
water quality in their own
backyard.
Lorna Byrne Middle
School students from Tim Talty
and Mary Trammel’s science
classes split days, one group
going first to the Caves and
then to the SFI and vice-versa,
as part of their curriculum.
According to Talty,
students have been studying
ways to measure water
quality in class and were able
to test out theories in local
environments.
“It’s not so much an
end-of-year trip as a way of
integrating the local access to
environmental locations and
learning about watersheds,
water quality, and looking at

come to class and talk
about water quality and
how we deal with it on a
human level. This trip was
looking at how nature deals
with water.”
Despite on and off
rain and colder than normal
temperatures, Talty said
students toughed it out and
enjoyed themselves, asking
one question after another
to staff working at the
Monument and the SFI.
Talty
hopes
the
field trips will become a
consistent part of the end-
of-year science studies at
Lorna Byrne in the future.
“It’s just a great
way to get kids out of the
classroom locally,” he
said. “When money’s tight
putting together a field trip
is difficult. It’s a great way
to use local resources. I
think a lot of students don’t
look at their environment
where they live the same
way as when they’re doing
[field trips].”

tools to measure that,” Talty
said.
At Caves Creek near the
Monument and on SFI grounds,
students collected samples
and measured the pH and
temperature of water, learning
firsthand about factors that can
affect the health of Southern
Oregon watersheds.
Before the trip, guest
speakers from the SFI and
the water treatment plant in
Cave Junction outlined some
concepts in the classroom.
In April, Talty said SFI staff
headed a workshop in Lorna
Byrne Middle School science
classes, preparing students
on some of the material they
would later apply hands-on in
field trips.
“This is part of a unit
we’re doing on ecology and
the role of water in…what
they call the Siskiyou Klamath
eco region,” Talty said. “We
actually invited Mike Bollweg
— who runs the sewage
treatment plant and the water
treatment here in town — to
