Field Trip Pictures

Below are pictures from our field trip to student research sites and the Mall of America.

Corrie presents infomation on mining in Kasota at the Kasota Prarie.
Ben looks toward the modern Treaty Center along highway 169 while telling the class about the treaty site where he is standing.
The Traverse de Sioux treaty site marker, set temporarily to the side.
The Treaty site. The stone has been removed from its pedestal and faces into the trees while the pedestal is being restored.
Mark tells the class about the agricultural landscape of southern Minnesota at a rest stop along highway 169 near what we think is a farm. Meanwhile Matt contemplates the genetic make up of the grass in preparation for...
his presentation about the genetic landscape while standing in front of the "farm."
After a drive through winding neighborhood roads Josh tells us about the "failed" utopian community of Johnathan.
Neighborhood 1 in Johnathan.
Students seriously engaged in field work at the Rainforest Cafe Smoothie bar. Note the worksheet on the bar and the pens borrowed from the bartender. The refrain "Salamander Safari of 4 please approach the Elephant, your adventure is about to begin." echoes throughout the cafe. The "Magic of the Mall" is broken after about an hour of waiting for our food to arrive.
Matt and Melinda escape the clutches of "The Mother" wallets (mostly) intact.
