Days Three and Four of our Voyage of Discovery were dedicated to collecting the data the students would need to test their hypotheses. Some students collected data while the Half Moon was underway from New York Harbor past the Hudson Highlands, while others took advantage of our layover at Beacon, NY.
During the data collection phase, each student established a work schedule for gathering data, collected and analyzed samples, and recorded their findings.
