Today we went on our field trip to Fort Whyte. It was great. In the morning we learned about the weather. Once we reviewed some vocabulary, we went outside and used some weather instruments to take weather readings. We made a cloud in a pop bottle using warm water and smoke. We also made a storm in a tub. Using warm red water and a blue ice cube. We learned about the causes of greenhouse warming and some things we can do to slow it down.
In the afternoon, we switched to the Voyageurs and the hivernauts. We pretended to follow our trap line and then rolled a dice to see what furs we collected. Then we went to the Factor and traded for goods we would need for the winter. When we were finished we were able to handle some furs and items they traded for. Then we cooked and ate Bannock over a fire.
We really enjoyed the touch museum. Petting all of the animals.
Some of us were lucky enough to spot some deer while we were out.
