'I can picture my students here': Arizona teachers become learners at hands-on science program MARANA — They peered into buckets of water, all of them down on all fours under the shade of a tall salt-cedar tree amid the loud song of cicadas. Inside the buckets, tiny creatures swarmed. "Wow!" "Gnarly!" "Cool!" "They are eating each other!", they shouted. They're school teachers, ranging in age from 25 to 58, but on this day, they were the learners, part of an immersive summer research experience identifying the early life stages of damselfly and dragonfly species that now populate a 15-mile section of flowing stream in the Santa Cruz River.
