Emory & Henry Field Station

It poured rain all morning during our field studies, but students were still attentive as they listened to Dr. Hainesworth instruct them on field sampling locations.

Emory & Henry Lunch Break

Students enjoyed a pizza lunch while they learned more about Emory & Henry College.

Emory & Henry Recreation Area

After lunch, students toured part of E&H campus.

Emory & Henry Library

The E&H library was included in the campus tour.

Using Microscopes

Biology and Environmental Science students practice using microscopes at Emory & Henry.

Using Field Station Samples

Students were challenged to prepare slides from water samples they collected at the field station, then identify the microorganisms they discovered while viewing their samples with a light microscope. In this picture, Madison is identifying one of her organisms.

Emory & Henry Instruction

Biology and Environmental Science students listen as Dr. Fleet teaches them about microscope use.

Working With Data

Students identify microorganisms found in their field samples: they used a guide book to identify the organisms based on shape, size, and physical descriptors.

Working With Field Station Samples

Alex shows off the samples he collected from the stream and pond at Emory and Henry's Bartlett-Crowe Field Station.

Emory & Henry Field Station

Students learned how to collect macroinvertebrates from a stream using a kick net. They used the Save Our Streams sampling protocol to collect macroinvertebrates and test the water for chemical parameters.

Microscope Search

Justin searches for water bears (tardigrades) without success! Luckily he found several other interesting organisms to identify.

Seeing Mitosis

Caitlin views mitosis in action while looking at a slide of an onion root tip.

Working With Field Station Data

Students concentrate on preparing slides from their field samples and searching for microorganisms.
