Aqua van Reflection

When I went to the aquavan presentation I met Fred, Katy, Robin and Julia. They were talking about the arctic and where the south pole and the north pole is. First they asked us to point at antarctica then showed us how far the ice of the arctic a thousand years ago and how it increased or decreased throughout the years. Then they split us into 4 groups of 8-10 people.

First my group went to our station and we talked about seals and how they lived. We also talked about if the icebergs melted then it will mess up the food chain.First the icebergs and if the icebergs and the glaciers melt then all of the small animals that live under them will all be extinct.After all of the animals under the icebergs and glaciers die then fish can’t eat so soon all of fish in the arctic will all dead.Then if all of the fish die then it’s predators the seal or narwhals can’t eat so then they will become extinct.After the seal and the narwhals become extinct then whoever the predator of the animal is/polar bear can’t eat then if the polar bear can’t eat then soon they will cease to exist. Finally if the polar bear doesn’t exist anymore then people who live in the north can’t eat the some people will start starving then die.That’s what Fred showed us about the food chain. Plus between every station they show us real alive animals that live in the ocean. After went to the next station and learned about the arctic fox and how they lived in their natural habitat.We also learned how they camouflage in the snow like polar bears.After we went to see the arctic fox we learned about turtle and tortoises and how big they can get.

FACT: Turtles and tortoises can get up to 2 meters in height.

Finally we went to see the killer whales and how they communicate from far distances.

FACT: Killer whale can hear from their jaws just like humans.

After when my group finished we went to the middle of the gym and waited until the other groups finish.After when everyone finished everybody got in a circle and shared what we learned and what was new to you and what was a review. After we finished we said thank you to Fred, Katy, Robin and julia.

And that concludes my reflection.
