00:00:00.392 --> 00:00:04.225
(cheerful instrumental music)

00:00:24.290 --> 00:00:29.290
- It's fun because you get
to do so much hands-on stuff

00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:32.140
and it makes me feel very empowering.

00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:34.840
It makes me feel like the
work that I'm doing matters.

00:00:46.090 --> 00:00:48.610
- It's kind of awesome to know

00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:50.640
that the things that we're doing for class

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.590
actually have, like, an
impact for the community.

00:00:53.590 --> 00:00:55.960
- Science is everywhere around us,

00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.260
and the best science is done in the dirt.

00:00:58.260 --> 00:00:59.650
It's like, it's getting your hands dirty,

00:00:59.650 --> 00:01:00.483
it's getting in there.

00:01:00.483 --> 00:01:01.590
And that's the fun thing

00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:03.530
is that everyone out here
is a scientist today.

00:01:03.530 --> 00:01:05.720
Everyone always is a scientist.

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:08.070
It's just kind of evaluating
your surroundings.

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.610
- It's a great activity
and great opportunity

00:01:28.610 --> 00:01:31.313
to see things you would
never see otherwise.

00:01:31.313 --> 00:01:34.310
When you get to wear waders
and a little life jacket

00:01:34.310 --> 00:01:35.620
and go out in these ponds,

00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:36.840
and you see all those people

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.790
that were standing along the
shore just looking at us like,

00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:39.913
oh, I wish I could,

00:01:39.913 --> 00:01:41.360
I wish I could go out there.

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:43.736
They don't even know
that they can, probably.

00:01:43.736 --> 00:01:48.403
(cheerful instrumental music continues)
