This is my first full day in Nova Scotia. I met the rest of the Earthwatch team
at the airport. It was exciting to
meet everyone. There are 9 of us
on the team. 6 are teachers from
all over the US. 3 are doing
Earthwatch as a learning vacation.
This is also the first time we meet Christina and Chris, the two scientists
who have been studying animals in Nova Scotia since 2006. They are doing their research for
the University of Oxford.
It was a two-hour drive to Cherry Hill from Halifax. Nova Scotia is beautiful country with
lots of lakes and rivers. Would
love to see it in the summer!!
Here's where I am staying. The cottage is 90 years old!

ReplyDeleteHow exciting that you are a "real" scientist working in the field for the week! I can't wait to hear from you on Wednesday! Our 7th graders are going to do a little research on the temperatures in Nova Scotia so please keep reporting on the temperatures throughout the week! Our 8th graders are going to do a little research on the programs that protect large mammals so if you have any insight please let us know!
I hope you have a wonderful time 3,600 miles or 5,794km away!
