Earthworks!

We went to Earthworks yesterday...and here are some photos from our visit!  :)

Some quotes from our visit include:
"In cave floods, mice duck their heads under rocks and they don't drown!"  ~Gabby
"I learned that bobcats put their back feet in the same place as their front feet so they do not step and snap twigs when they are hunting..." ~  Christian
"In a pond, algae can take over and in the winter, when there is ice over it, you can see the fish up against the ice...dead!"  ~Zachary
"I found out that forest fires can have some good things too: they make the ashes go into the ground and new plants come and it gets more nutrients in the soil." ~Kaitlyn
"The great blue heron's wing span is 6 feet long.  The female great blue heron can lay up to 3-7 eggs." ~Ana
"That acid makes chalk bubble, but it does not dissolve." ~Makayla
"I learned about some new fish animals like a mud puppy and I also learned about the button bush."  ~ Van
"Acid can dissolve chalk, but it cannot dissolve strong rock like limestone and other rocks!" ~ Will
"Sometimes when there are cave floods, some fish survive, and the bats fly out, and it takes a stalactites and stalagmites 500 years to grow one inch!  I want to be either a paleontologist or an archaeologist!!!"  ~ Amelia
