Week Two; Crossing The River
On this trip we needed to cross the
river so we could get to the study site. Our Study sight is where we collected our tree carbon data that we are going to take back to our math class and calculate how much carbon is in one hector. I know I was a little nervous and I
think a few others were, too. There were plenty of rules (probably so our
teachers didn’t have to listen to us complaining.) like keep two ‘legs’ on the
ground at all times. We had to use a weird stick for extra precaution and only
three of us were allowed to cross at a time, to be careful. My group was one of
the first to cross because we had to take video of the crossing. Once we were
across we were all super happy. It had been really fun to cross, even though we were nervous. When we were done taking data we had to cross back. This time
I was ready and excited.
Rules and Protocols For Crossing The River
·
Always be aware of your surroundings.
·
When crossing the river keep one foot to the side and in front of the
other foot. Meaning, don’t cross your feet when walking.
·
Always face upstream.
·
Make sure that you have two feet on the ground at all times. (we were
using sticks to help walk across.)
·
If you fall put one knee down and hold onto the stick until you can pull
your self back up.
·
When you put the waiters on tighten the straps as tight as they can go.
·
Once you get across quickly take off your waiters and put on your shoes
so you are ready to start measuring. Also so the people without waiters can get across dry and happy.
