The Amazing World of Fish Creek Park. At Fish Creek Park we did a lot of neat things with water. We used thermometers to see how cold the water and the air was. We noticed that the air was colder than the water. Reading a thermometer is tricky and it was hard to see where the red line stopped. We went on a scavenger hunt looking for signs of winter. We found LOTS of signs ... like snow… everywhere. It was amazing! Some of us were trying to catch snow on our tongues. We also found some cool looking ice and slush in the river. Besides the snow, there were a lot of very exciting things that greeted us at the park. We saw a coyote, lots of wax wing birds, some canadian geese, chickidees, a big black crow, and black fungus growing on the trees. One of the activities was a nature walk. Along the walk we chose sticks for the “Great Stick Race.” We were looking for sticks that would be fast and steer through the rocks. We looked for sticks that had a rudder, small and pointy, smooth so they would ‘cut’ through the water really fast. This activity reminded us of the boat designs we have been looking at while building our boats.
