Research Day: Tracks and Snow Pits.

Adding color to the pages.

Emily rubs the colors to blend them into natural hues.

Delali Sketches out her thoughts in interesting designs.

We had two research groups. One looked for answers in a snow pit, while the other hunted for tracks in different ecotones.

The trackers search the Sagebrush Ecotone.

There is always time for some play.

Sarah finds an air-pocket and sinks up to hear knee despite wearing snowshoes.

Now Genevieve knows what sage tastes like.

Charlie brushes off the looser snow to find the layers.

With the layers revealed, Delali can measure them for their research data.

One of the snow pits was dug in the Aspen Ecotone.

It takes a group effort to collect all of the necessary data.

Sarah sits in the snow to record her data about the tracks she has discovered.

Mrs. VanRiper and Genevieve have found some tracks to identify deep in the Conifer Ecotone.

The pines leave only small openings to the sky.

Sarah nearly stumbled upon this resting moose.
