Our Field Trip to Niagara Falls!! :o)


OK...OK...we didn't really go to Niagara Falls (although many of us would have liked to).  We did visit Niagara Falls virtually via a webcam this afternoon in Science.  We were discussing the Niagara Falls and how the water is eroding the landscape.  We learned that every 10 years, the falls move 32 cm!  We discussed how wind, sand, water and ice can lead to erosion (replay the game we played about erosion).  Visit Niagara Parks website or this travel site for extra information.  Niagara Falls Live also contains some interesting information about Niagara Falls including a story and picture about how the falls froze one winter.  Feel free to read these interesting facts, and remember all articles (even articles on the Internet) can count towards your home reading so make sure you record them!
