November 19, 2014: Sceince

“Today in science class, we dissected an owl pellet and discovered many different bones.   We also discovered that an owl can eat as many as 5 rodents in half a day. We found rodents or birds inside the owl pellet with almost all of bones intact. We also found that the owl would ball up the pellet with the bones on the inside and all the hair on the outside. The class was afraid we would get diseases but we figured that they went into an incinerator type thing to disinfect them.”

702 -  We have been working on Primary and Secondary sources. Students have read about an Aboriginal tribe, the Beothuk, who are now extinct as a result of European Exploration. Students have recreated a "photograph" of what happened during contact between the Europeans and Beothuk (primary source). Today we worked on editing our secondary source (an explanatory paragraph about their photograph). 

Homework -  Both the primary and secondary sources are due on TUES. NOV. 18TH.
