Highlights
What did you learn today?
We had the Glenbow Ranch in class field trip today. We had 4 different stations that we rotated through. Station 1 was Build Billy the Bison. We had to place the correct real bones into the shaped foam mat. 



The second station was Dendrology, we had to look at a picture of skeleton bones and figure out how many people were there, and there were different examples of a tree and you had to count the number of rings to see how old it was and determine what was its best year and its worst year. Ask me how I know that! 
Station 3 was Ecofact or Artifact. We had to look at different items and decide if they had been made, used or changed by humans. If the answer was yes it was an artifact.

Station 4 was looking at Projectile Points or weapons. We looked at tips of spears, atlatls and arrows.
