Learning the Journey of a Bucket of Sap From Tree to Table
This week US third graders worked with Mr. Terry Harmon to learn the maple sugaring operation, which has been in existence at US's Hunting Valley campus since 1971. The boys and their teachers Mrs. Liz Spector, Mrs. Lori Baris and Mr. Steve Siegel spent the afternoon in the forest gathering the sap, which is taken to the sugarhouse where it is boiled down in a wood-fueled evaporator and turned into maple syrup. The program, begun by Mr. Harmon when the campus first opened, gives students a hands-on, local experience of science in action.
