This lesson will help students investigate bowfishing at night. Students will use process writing as a method to think through the process of fishing in steps and consider all the necessary actions to take to become a successful angler.
The sport of bowfishing can be very productive at night.
When you bowfish at night, there are new considerations such as depth perception and fish identification in the dark.

In this Into the Outdoors episode, we’re heading out on the water in a variety of different water crafts!
Water sports have gained popularity in recent years, and with more people out on the water, we want to make sure everyone is enjoying the water safely.
Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they try out stand up paddle boards (SUPs), kayaks, canoes and personal watercrafts (PWCs), while learning the important safety steps to take before getting in the water. Think you know all about these fun watercrafts?
Test your knowledge along with Zach and Charlie in this exciting and knowledge-packed episode!
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of launching your canoe, or other watercraft, and forget to follow the proper safety measures to keep yourself safe in the case of an accident.
However, taking these precautions could end up saving your life. Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they prepare for their water adventure by taking a variety of safety measures before launching their canoe.
Having a float plan and sharing it with someone, knowing your plan of action in the case of an emergency and being prepared for your adventure with the right gear/equipment can help you in the case of an accident, or even prevent one from happening.
Test yourself! Are these things you do before heading out on the water?
Before you hit the water, you should make sure the watercraft you are using is the right one for you and your adventure.
There are a lot of similarities and differences between larger watercraft, such as power boats, and smaller watercraft, such as SUPs, kayaks, canoes and PWCs.
For instance, a large boat is more stable in the water but it can’t turn as quickly as a personal watercraft (PWC) can. However, the maneuverability of a PWC can cause them to tip more easily than a boat. Knowing and being aware of these differences can better prepare you for a safe day on the water.
Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they learn about what makes large and small watercraft different, what things they have in common and how to choose the best craft for your water adventure!
This episode unravels some of the foundational chemistry that affects everything on planet earth.
It begins with the primary conversion of simple chemicals into complex compounds that form the building blocks of all life.
Using the further conversions that occur in a dairy cow, the ITO team decodes how plant material is converted to a variety of dairy-related foods that impact our lives.
They also explore both the history and hands-on science that viewers can take into their kitchens to learn more for themselves with simple experiments… about the chemistry of life.
