Homework: science garbage audit due Monday, practice multiplication facts
- At the start of the day, we did math. We did an activity called Four Square. We had to circle four numbers that were together on a grid that would add up to 200 and 500.
- After that, we went outside on a Waste in Nature scavenger hunt. We had to find different types of producers, consumers and decomposers. Some groups found garbage while others found natural waste. Some of the things we saw and found were: rabbit tracks and poop, coyote footprints, mushrooms growing on trees, lichen on tree trunks, willow trees, a bird's nests, a Manitoba Maple and the Alberta Wild Rose.
- Lastly, we played the nutrient tag game again, but this time we added ominvores and the teachers were humans. The humans would "chop down the trees" by taking away hoops with nutrients in them, so there wasn't as many to recycle. They also made the space smaller to play in. Because of this more animals died in the game. We also learned how hard it is to live as an animal near humans.
Questions:
- Next Friday if we play this again, will the humans still be in the game, or are there more players to be introduced?
- Which animal found it the hardest to survive?
