ANSWERS
QUESTIONS
- Why
was it important to sniff the cards in numerical order?
(in order to construct the upstream path, you needed to
have the left/right choices presented in order. Otherwise,
even though you detected the correct turn direction, you
wouldn't know where each turn occurred)
- Why
were compass directions critical to constructing the map
of the migration? (you needed to know exactly which direction
to turn)
- In
order to create a more accurate map, what piece of information
was needed for each "leg" of the upstream journey?
(the length of that part of the river journey)
- How
can this classroom experience be applied to the migration
of the salmon? (Answers will vary)
