November 3rd Behind School

On November 3rd, the 3rd-5th grade went behind the school and collected data for the first time since we created our questions. We found our study sites and took pictures and pin-pointed it on our GPS. In one of our study sites we had an alive tree and a dead tree, but in the other site we only had a dead tree.The biggest cottonwood tree that we saw had the circumference of 246cm.We wrote about the cottonwood tree and drew pictures to follow. Most of the deciduous trees didn’t have their leaves.

When we took our soil sample the soil was really clayish and we had a hard time getting a good sample.The ground was very crunchy and it was on a very cold sunny day.

We had a lot of fun on our first data collection field trip.

Please give comments and questions.
