Nose Hill Trip

Highlights:

Today we went to Nose Hill! We worked in groups to investigate some of the animals that might live on Nose Hill. Our groups were tasked with finding evidence that our animal could survive on Nose Hill. We took notes and took photos of our evidence. When we got back to the school, we took turns sharing some of our findings. Here are a few of the things we had to say:


We studied porcupines. We saw willow trees that the porcupines would use for food and shelter. ~ Ansif and Zoe 
Porcupines would also eat berries. We found rosehips and buckberries.  ~ Shemuella, Renaud 
We studied hare. We saw rosehips that the hares could eat and we also saw hare tracks. ~ Declan 
We saw a burrow where the rabbits could sleep or hide. ~ Kipling 
We studied red fox. We saw a really good place for a fox to sleep. It was a place that would hard for people to get to. ~ Aaron 
We studied coyote. We saw coyote tracks and we followed them. We enjoyed the view. We also saw a flipped over car! ~ Landon 
We saw a lot of berries and deer track so we know there was food for coyotes. ~ Kais 
We studied red tailed hawk. We say mouse tunnels and tracks. The red-tailed hawk would eat the mice. ~ Finn 
We saw coyote tracks. They would be an enemy or competitor for red tailed hawks because they would eat the same things like rabbits and mice. ~ Max 
We studied lynx. We saw a chickadee that a lynx might want to eat. We also saw bunny tracks. ~ Hank 
We studied the american badger. We found a lot of food prints. ~ Ayaka 
We saw a lot of holes that could be from mice. They would be food for the badger. ~ Chrystal 
We saw lots of coyote tracks and honey. ~ Inaya 

Here are a few photo of our evidence:
