Plainfield High School -- Central Campus seniors Saul Aviles and Ashley Black dig through and identify a mass of dead bugs as part of a project in their Environmental Science class to study the biodiversity of bugs. Students set traps outdoors for two days, then identified, recorded and compared the total and variety of organisms caught. They also had to graph these results in a power point showing their environmental scientific methods.
