Caption: Making a "V" symbol to symbolize a natural lake when learning about aquatic ecosystems with Quinn.

For startup, we put on some music and drew on a blank sheet of paper with paint markers. Then, we teamed up and chose a leader to imitate while we all drew on the same paper. Then, we took our flubber (pictured below) out from the fridge and ran a quick experiment to test one of the three assigned factors (friction, slope, and temperature) in our animal groups. We found that flubber moves quite slowly and is quite similar to glaciers after about half an hour of testing.
We then moved into Mansa's intro to Glaciology, which is pictured below.

After lunch, we went on a walking glacial geology tour of Dartmouth's campus with Emma. We made stops at Occum's Pond, an esker in Pine Park, and a dry creekbed. The sketch above shows possible varves (layers of sediment typically found in areas that had lakes) in the clay on the walls of the creekbed.Â
Other glacial features with Emma after we got back from the walk:
Last, we went back to the classroom after dinner for Quinn's intro to limnology module.
