18 classrooms and 18 taps/buckets -- awesome idea and learning activity for those students! Did you have any concerns with people tampering with your buckets? Did you do anything to make them somewhat tamper-proof? I will be tapping a few trees with my students in the next week or so and the trees are in front of our school. I want to make things as tamper-proof as possible. Any suggestions?
Good luck this year!
2024 - 16 taps - buckets on our best producing trees, still boiling on a block arch with slight modifications/refinements over the years.
2021 - 25 taps - all buckets
2013-2020 - 30/41 taps: discovering which trees were the best producers
2012 - First year - 21 taps in our backyard - block arch evaporator with 3 steam table pans!
