Antarctica!

The 3-5 grade class learned a lot about Antarctica in January. We followed a blog from a scientific cruise. And we got to talk to people in Antarctica by video-conferencing and we got to see penguins! Follow this link to the blog: http://pal.lternet.edu/outreach/blogs/cruise201101/

Field Report from 2/3/11

The 3rd-5th grade went to Bartlett Cove on February 3rd, 2011. We found eggs, and we are not sure if they are fish eggs. We posted a photo. This was the first trip we took a ruler and used it in our photos. It was Kimber’s idea—thank you Kimber!

We also saw pink, slimy gooey stuff that we weren’t sure was a plant or an animal. There is a photo posted and we would like to know what it is!

During our sound-map we heard goldeneye ducks. They made a noise like a whistle while they were flying. We don’t know why they make that noise and neither does Steve.

We didn’t find any plastic there for the second time!

Field Report January 21, 2011

The 3rd - 5th grade class went to Gustavus dock on January 21, 2011. The weather was cold, cloudy, and rainy. We where there for an hour. We got some plastic (not too much). There was yellow plastic, black plastic, white plastic, a piece of a shot gun shell, plastic rope, and four pieces of Styrofoam. There was also a soda can, 2 pieces of rubber, packing from ramen noodles, a paper Cabela’s tag, fishing lure. We saw a lot of living things such as; sculpins, cockles, isopods, arthropod, and 2 sea anemones.

We have a question that we haven’t found an answer to. Is rubber plastic?
