Beyond the classroom

Pin Oak Middle School’s eighth-grade students (pictured) recently traveled to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for the annual field-study trip. The journey was led by Bellaire High School’s IB/AP Geography and Environmental Sciences teacher Ann Linsley, along with Pin Oak's Texas History teacher Shelly Hulbirt and World Cultures teacher Eric Meyer. Students spent five days exploring some of the country's greatest geological treasures, learning about human and physical geography, geology, ecology, and biology of the Yellowstone region while collecting data for a long-term study on local streams.
