We had a great trip to Natural Resources Canada. The class had a chance to see three presentations. We started by learning about an incredible sand dune habitat that exists right here in Ottawa. The Pinhey Sand dune complex is home to some truly incredible insects that you can't find anywhere else in our area.
Our second presentation had us learning about the origins of geological work here in Canada as well as seeing some truly amazing mineral and meteorite samples. We had a chance to perform some of the mineral tests that we observed yesterday on the virtual geology lab.
Our final presentation had us learning about how satellite images are created. We had an opportunity to test our skills matching up maps with corresponding satellite images. We even got a chance to see a multicopter used to capture images from the air!
