Preserving Oases along the Flyway
STUDENT PROJECTS

MAINLAND REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL, LINWOOD

Mrs. Hamilton's Biology Class

Through our study of bird migration the New Jersey Audubon web site was an excellent tool.  We based two of our journal entries on bird migration: What is migration and how do we study migration?  Mrs. Hamilton, our teacher, produced a series of questions for us to complete using the website.  The activity required a lot of work, but together the questions and readings from the internet worked well.  I believe my fellow students and I really understood most of what was presented to us about bird migration. 
       With the recent addition of an acoustic microphone on top of the Science wing of our school; my Biology class began talking about different migration patterns and the Atlantic Flyway more seriously.  We studied different terms and basic radar figures to aid our knowledge of what was happening.  Since South Jersey is along the Atlantic Flyway I feel good being able to say that our school, and more specifically our class, has contributed to the migration process.  This activity gave everyone who participated the facts that they should know about bird migration around them, while living in Southern New Jersey!
