Diploma Programme Biology Students

Grades 11 and 12 Biology students took advantage of our high school’s location near the Boise River on their recent field trip. Students studied the succession of vegetation along the river edge and conducted vegetation sampling along a transect to document the changes in succession. Other students identified trees in a small section of woodland and then estimated the population of each species in order to come up with a diversity index for the area.

Thanks to Tom B., Riverstone parent, who accompanied the students on the trip and was a great help with his excellent knowledge of local tree species.
