We are doing another round of tracking, this time using the 'proper' ink pads, rather than the home made job. Some groups decided to move their tunnels to a different location. We discussed using different bait, but decided to stick with peanut butter.
Sarah showed us a variety of different traps that can be used to kill pests, and we talked about the positives and negatives of each. As a class, we decided we would like to try to trap and kill some pests around our school, so organising that is our next step.
I really enjoyed Sarah coming and talking to us about the traps. I hope we catch something.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Sarah for coming out to talk to us about the ink tunnels and what traps to use. This was so much fun and has inspired our class to keep trapping.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed learning about pests and tracking them as well. It was interesting to see that when we all put our tunnels on the field and in the bushes outside room 2, that we all of them got tracks. I am hoping that we have caught a pest in out trap.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I've seen a proper mouse trap set off in real life.
ReplyDeleteIt was cool watching Sarah poke the stick into the traps and watch the snap. Our ink tunnels all had tracks in them so we put a DOC 200 out by the fitness course on the field!!!
ReplyDeleteWow it looks like you guys had an amazing time learning about trapping and how to make ink tunnels.
ReplyDeleteThis was really fun i learnt heaps about traps and pests
ReplyDeleteThis was really interesting and fun to learn about. I have learnt loads. we are all really excited to trap and kill some of the pests around our school.
ReplyDeleteIt was really interesting to learn about the traps and how they worked. When we got to lift up the bars on the traps we could feel how strong they were.
ReplyDeletelearning about bio-security was really fun. Before we did this unit I dint know what bio-security was. I also dint now the dangers of letting things like seeds skins and food from other country's come into our country as they could have a virus in them that can effect our native animals and plants.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun seeing what types of pests we have around our school thanks for coming Sarah
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed learning about traps and learning what traps are for what pests. Our group had rat traps in our ink tunnels.
ReplyDeleteWow what awesome findings. Well done
ReplyDeleteLearning about the different tracks of different animals was really interesting, but I did get a massive fright when the DOC 200 trap went off!
