Thursday and Friday

Thursday I was at a teacher workshop. Tonie Lilley was my sub. They read articles about the parachuting cats of Borneo in the 1950's and mapped out the relationships between the organisms involved. See the article in Google Docs: Parachuting Cats. They read another story about the Lemmings of Norway and how their populations fluctuate every 4 years. They discussed these stories in small groups and answered some reflection questions. Friday when I returned we reviewed the materials and read another story about the relationship between Lynx and Hares in Northern Canada. We looked at graphs that show the fluctuations over time and how they eventually balance out every ten years.
