Junior scientists in the Field!

The rains come….

 Since the launch of Iracambi’s Junior Scientist project in July, about 90 junior scientists of the schools in Rosário da Limeira and Belisário have been making regular visits to Iracambi to learn about monitoring the environment. Their schools don’t have science laboratories so for most of the pupils (and for the teachers, too!) it is the first time that they have access to scientific equipment and learn how to use it. We have been measuring stream flows and water quality, and now we’ll start looking at soils.

 For weeks, we have been talking about measuring rainfall, butt there was never any rain! Finally in October, the rainy season has just started, so now we can see if what we talked about will work or not.
