Observations and Data

Learning Target: 

• I can make statements from data.

HOWLs Target:

• I take initiative for my learning by focusing on the task.

Agenda

• Warm-up: PRETTY PICTURE FRIDAY (2min)
• We went snow tubing and ran an experiment. Describe what worked in the experiment and what did not work during the experiment.
• 
• Take Me Away, Deer! Since ancient times, the Nenets have led a nomadic life. Reindeer harnessed to sleds is the most reliable form of transport on the tundra, and the people of the North make use of their navigational abilities. In severe conditions, such as a blinding snow storm, deer are not only loyal companions, but sometimes the only hope for survival. Photographed by Kamil Nureev. #
