Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
While we were outside, we discovered a red mystery substance at the bottom of the trunks of some of the trees. 
How did you show what you learned?
In our Fresh Air Friday Field Journal, we wrote down some questions that we have about this substance and created a plan for what we can do about it.
What do you need to learn next?
We will investigate what this substance is and report our findings to the students of Dr. Coffin School. Also, we want to connect with the City of Calgary and an Arborist to see how they can help us.
