Think AG!

Today the Science 10 class travelled to Regina to attend the first ever Ag Career and Expo at Canadian Western Agribition. Connected to our unit on Career Exploration, student worked through seven different hands on stations to experience what it would be like to work in the agriculture industry. Agriculture areas represented included animal science, agronomy, Ag technology, food science, Ag business, etc. We had a blast and then even had time to tour the CWA before returning to Melville at the end of the day. Here are some pictures from today!

How many animals?

Today in Science 10, we did a mark recapture simulation to estimate the number of animals in a brown plastic bag habitat. The lab was timely after having guest speaker, Allison Henderson, visit our classroom on Wednesday. The students came reasonably close to estimating the actual size of their animal population. Here are some photos from today's class.
