Nose Hill Plant Hunt

Today was Fresh Air Friday! 


We went on a plant hunt at Nose Hill.  We were hunting for:
Wildrose Bushes (with Rosehips)
Buck Brush
Bergamot
Yarrow
Wild Sage
Aspen Trees
Wolf Willow
Canadian Thistle

Wild Blue Flax

We took photos on the iPads, made and recorded our observations, and collected some evidence in ziplock bags.  We worked in groups and made lots of discoveries!

Where's the Buckbrush?
Snack Time!

Scientists always record their observations 

We still need to find Wolf Willow!










A great day on Nose Hill! 
While we were completing our plant hunt, we also made some new discoveries. Here is Leander with his buddy Aksel explaining their discovery (sorry Ms. Boyer held the phone the wrong way again...):

The Mystery Plant...


What do you think? Do you have any theories about this plant

Thank you to all the parent and grandparent volunteers who came with us today!
