CCAAMMPP SSPPEEAARRSS!!

What does camp have to do with science? Well I can tell you some reasons.

First of, we learned about different types of waters. There are lotic waters and lintic waters. Lotic water means that the water moves like a lake. Lintic water means that the water stays still, like a lake. We found differnt oragnisms in the water too. If you catch organisms in the lotic water, you can't put them into the lintic water, because that is not their normal habitat.

The rock wall only had one thing that I know is science related. This is the pulleys on the top of the tower. When you pull on one side of the rope the other side goes up. The person climbing would be the weight. The pulley is a mechanical advantage.

On the nature walk we learned about the different rocks. Sedimentary rocks are rocks that are layered. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been aged. They have no layers. Igneous rocks are rocks that came from volcanoes. They have little holes in them. There was a big field of rocks there. They came here being pushed by glaciers.

Also on the nature walk, we learned about mas and fungi. Mas eats the food from the liken. Liken gather minerals. The get food from the Mas. Fungi get food from dead things. It is a decomposer.
