Wednesday Morning

We are getting ready to head out to Cook's Lake this morning. Breakfast is a 8:00 and then we leave right after that. Here are some answers to some of the previous questions. There pictures of fishing traps, and boats and the questions was to try to figure out what the main industry was. Some of you said fishing which is correct. Also ,they use their boats to take tourists out to go whale watching,


In Canada, they have coins that are $1 and $2 dollars. This is a picture of a $2 dollar coin (on the right) and it is called a "twoney" rhymes with looney. The other picture is of their $1 dollar coin (on the left) and it is called a looney. If you look closely their is a picture of a loon on it.



One of my questions asked about how you could see if the season was changing. Do you think that this picture is a good fall picture?


Mystery picture? What do you think this is?






Question to think about ? Why is it important to trap the small mammals? Keep in mind that these rodents are the bottom of the food chain What will we learn as a result of these findings?

Bye for now, time for breakfast and then off to Cook's lake! Have a great day!

Mystery picture: Is it "scat"?

Why do you trap small animals? So you can study them.

Why is it important that this decay cycle occur on the forest floor? So more stuff can happen. Living plants can grow and have shelter and food. The decaying plants provide the food.

What caused the tree to fall? A beaver

This is Jackson Copeland (from Mrs. Bouwman's 2nd grade class).

My guess is that the picture is of bear poop (scat).

Looks like he ate some blueberries!

Its good to catch rodents since their at the bottom of the food chain. Catching rodents tells you how many predators may be out there for that one speices. the more, the less predators. The less, the more predators.

Mrs. Smith-
Hi! It's so cool that you're in Canada, eh? I think the mystery picture is either:
a rock
a small furry animal
or poop.
And I think that beavers caused the tree to fall down.
