Environment Detective launch

http://www.cbf.org/image/Menhaden-CBFStaff_458x232.jpg

This week we have learned about the problem with the fish in the river that raging waters gets t water from. We have been assigned to be detectives on what is truly causing this problem. we have been seeing all the variables or suspect of this matter that could be killing the fish. We have to see what is the main contributor. We are the Bay Area's fish problem detectives.

This week I have been Conducting Investigations. We have used the are information that we see make to make hypothesis on how they could be affecting the river. We have used prior knowledge on what these places do to help us investigate the true culprit. There are many variables in this investigation so we need to figure out who affecting the fish the most killing them off. The fish in the water are dying it our jobs to find out the most likely person to do this. We are investigating the whole area around this river.

Cause and Effect: When you're working with a mystery there is always cause and effect. For example, because the farmer is using fertilizer near the water the fish are being poisoned. Everything must have a cause. In this project it all about this aspect, we need to be able to track the cause to really know who made this effect. With this we can learn more about what killed the fish.

This week we have finish up the project I was talking about last week. We are doing as you can see and things have gone well. First of all are reseach was pretty thorough I just think there is not to much information on the river well not at least as much as others. We have improved are knowledge of this river a lot and we are prepared to make the video.

We have even made are video so far. The video is a little over 6 minutes. We spent a lot of time on the history though. This river has a rich history that  think is very important. Without this river Canada may have never become a country the it has done. We have also added some fun aspects to this video like cool characters. I am very proud of this and I am excited to share.

Mackenzie River

This week I started my project on the Mackenzie river. I have been mostly researching about the culture. I learned about the Inuits, Denes, and Metis. They were some of the first people near the river and even in Canada. I have also been starting to learn a little about how Europeans came in the the river.
