This blog will be a source of communication and instruction for my students while I am away on my fellowship in Nova Scotia. Daily discoveries will be posted and you are expected to post comments or questions in response to my post or someone else's post. You are required to respond to each post that I make. In other words, your grade depends on what and how often you post comments. Comments or questions must show that you have put some thought into it (comments like "cool" do not count).
this is a trail post. I'm attempting to see if Google videos will work. The district allows this website and I may be able to post links. Keep your fingers crossed!

The pictures and stories are so exciting, Mrs. Krekeler! To answer your questions, I could view the video fine after some buffering, but on my teacher computer I couldn't see some of the photos. The last one I could view was a cute little guy being held by someone in a red striped shirt. :-)The five photos underneath that one, four from April 16 and one from April 15, do not show up. Maybe I will be able to see them on my home computer?
You are doing such important work and I am proud to be your colleague. Anyone who reads your blogs is learning so much about research science; I know I am!
Have fun, and try to stay warm, if not dry.
Mrs. Meurling

Mrs.Krekler,

MK Period 1
hiii mrs.krekeler!
that vole in the video you made is really cute!! but the trap you made looks kinda confusing to work with, so how do you know if you caught something or not?
-- M.s.C. 4th!!
Hey Mrs. Krekeler!,
It's good to hear from you. How many times has the vole been captured? The trap doesn't look like what I thought it was going to look like. do you put food in the trap to make the animal go into it? How many animals do you need to capture? Can wait to see you again!
R.L. Period 5
Hi Mrs.Krekeler.
So you caught another vole i see. Thats really cool. How does the vole get trapped in the trap.does the trap have some sort of mechanism that snaps shut when the vole touches something? Anyway good to know theat you have caught something (again).
From MB Per.2.
wow thats so cool the video was a success that trap thing was cool looking also is there something that the vole steps on and it closes? Thanks!

How did you learn where to put the traps? That vole can really move! I wonder if he/she has a family. How big does a vole family usually consist of? The video works. : )
EC-Period 4
hi mrs. krekeler hope your having fun in Nova Schosha. The animals you are catching looked awesome, Which scat trails did you follow to find?
zm period 2
hi mrs. krekeler hope your having fun in Nova Schosha. The lab we are doing really taught me about cementation using the block to squash the Crayon shavings together.
I wanted to give you a little more details about the traps. There is now a video of me setting out a trap (see the videos page).
Because the small mammals aren't as fast as their predators they need to rely on something else than speed. What they do is dart against something--a tree branch, anything that allows them to run against something.
We set the traps against things that we thought would be their path. We used our knowledge of how they traveled and then we guessed where they were and placed traps.
I made a video explaining how the traps work. Now that it is loaded on google videos, you can watch it.
what if the animal got only got in its body half way in??
will it get hurt??
i miss you!
MJ4
why do the voles come back? if they have already been there once, why do they want to do it again?
cjz1
the vole video is so cool! it would be cool to have one as a pet. they look like little mice. have you caught any thing else other than vole and mice?

TT 1st period
Mrs. Krekeler
The video does work and i think that is so cool how that all happens. What do the voles eat? How long do you keep them? I think it is so cool how you trap then free the little guys! THey are so cute. Hope you catch a lot.
Hi Mrs. Krekeler! How does the trap works? I wonder how it trap the vole.
That vole brave because if i was in the vole's shoes I would always want to leave. Hope you have a great time in testing the animals.
i think that is so cool how you let them go in the same place where you captured them. If you capture a vole (or any other mammal)you cut their fur the then let them go but if you recatch the sam evole do you recut their fur so you can see how many times you catch that one vole?
FT Period: 5

Hi Mrs. Krekeler!
The vole looked just like a mouse! releasing the vole seemed really easy, but how does the trap work? Does it just close shut when the vole "steps" into it? Well, all of your work seems very intresting, can't wait 'till your back!
JL Period 1
Dear Mrs. Krekeler,
THe vole was very......interesting,
we like how "cute" it was. I had aquestion, how big are the voles and how much do they usually weigh.
P.E. Period 3
I like the voles, they're so cute!
I kind of notice that the voles walks faster than the mouse/mice.
Is it a fact or ts just my eye?:)
