Sixth graders at Riverside celebrated their Science unit on predators with an Earth Day project. The students participated in researching the mustard plant that is taking over plant growth in 30 states. They collaborated with the local park and learned that this plant is choking out other plant growth in our park.
For Earth Day, teams of sixth grade students pulled more than 100 loaded garbage bags of this predator plant out of the local park. This project was sponsored by a grant that teachers Tillie Kain and Sue Turpin obtained and is a featured portion of a national project working to eradicate this plant in 30 states.
