Dear WHRO,

Thank you for the opportunity for our students to become citizen (student) scientists for a day.   We were able to contribute 1230 mapping events using the Sea Level Rise App along with 86 photos.  The timing was perfect for our lessons on Astronomy as we covered moon phases and spring/neap tides.  Later in the year we will do Oceanography which will discuss sea level rise in more detail and that is when our student projects will be done.  For now, please find enclosed on our shared drive our data, photos, student work relating to tides and student pledges.

King Tide Mapping Booker T. Washington High School

Our students from Booker T. Washington did an outstanding job mapping the flood waters around Norfolk.  We created over 1200 mapping events as student (citizen) scientist providing data to the overall scientific community to study rising sea level.  Norfolk is particularly prone to flooding with many areas at or below sea level. We discussed the cause of sea level rise as well as why the tides were "King" today.  Moon phases and spring/neap tides are the lessons being taught in our Earth Science class.  Here are the trouble spots BTW visited:
