Grade 4/5 classes from University Highlands had the opportunity to bus to Barnet Marine Park and explore the plants and creatures we found there. We wondered how the plants and animals would be different from the ones we had been studying on Burnaby Mountain. Would different elevations influence who lived there? How does the proximity to the ocean change the landscape? With our field experience notebooks, our magnifying glasses, and our curiosity, we made observations and posed questions about what we found on the beach and in the forests. Even though many of us had been to the park a number of times, we noticed that we were able to explore it with a new lens and make exciting discoveries.
