Our students worked very hard to make sure we could conduct our science experiments within the park without worrying about puppies trying to join in. Thanks to the Friends of Blackstone Park, we are able to enjoy our time at the park even more with pups on leashes!
Welcome to the class blog of the Urban Naturalists at Nathan Bishop Middle School in Providence, Rhode Island. We are a fantastic group of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who go outside to explore our local city parks in order to collect data about the area in which we live. This blog will keep you posted on what we're up to in Rhode Island!
Welcome

Leash the Pups!
Our students worked very hard to make sure we could conduct our science experiments within the park without worrying about puppies trying to join in. Thanks to the Friends of Blackstone Park, we are able to enjoy our time at the park even more with pups on leashes!

Sit Spot Surprises
Each Urban Naturalist chooses a spot to observe for the entire session to determine the various changes throughout the season. One of the Fall 2012 Scholars, Emilio, discovered some lovely mushrooms at his new spot! Check it out!
PBS Special
The PASA Summer Scholars program was featured in a PBS NewsHour Special over the summer. Check out the Urban Naturalists on National TV!
