STEM Club’s Trout-in-the-Classroom Project

  This year, students once again had the exciting opportunity to take part in the Trout-in-the-Classroom project, run by Laura from the Chilterns Chalk Stream Project. The initiative provided a hands-on learning experience, allowing students to explore biodiversity, conservation, and the challenges facing local ecosystems. In the first week after the Christmas holidays, STEM Club took charge of a school of brown trout alevins—tiny fish in their early life stage, just after hatching. Housed in a specially set-up tank in the Science Department, the students observed their development while learning about the unique characteristics of chalk streams, their rich biodiversity, and the environmental threats they face. Over the following weeks, as the alevins matured, they transitioned from relying on their yolk sacs to swimming freely and feeding. STEM Club members took responsibility for caring for the trout, feeding them daily and monitoring their growth. Just before Easter, twelve STEM Club members, along with Laura, Dr. Lowe, and a few A-level Biology students, set off on a trip to the River Chess near Chenies to release the young trout into the wild. This marked the beginning of the fish’s challenging journey in their natural habitat. While at the river, students also conducted an invertebrate survey, discovering first hand the abundance and diversity of aquatic life. They even had the opportunity to discuss river management and conservation with the landowner, gaining valuable insight into real-world environmental stewardship. This fantastic project continues to inspire and educate students about the importance of protecting local ecosystems. Well done to all involved!
