On Wednesday the Envirothon Team had a Fun Day!! We traveled to Saint John's, NB to attend a Science Expo & had some time to explore downtown for lunch and a little shopping.
We then went to Irving Nature Park for a group picture & supper! We spent time on the beach, did a scavenger hunt & explored the beautiful walking trails.
Thursday was sequestration day. The envirothon team was dropped off at 9:00 am where they received 2 hours of instructions and study time. They then will be taken to a room where they will have 6 hours to create a presentation that is up to 20 minutes long on a real life scenerio. During this time, they will have no contact with anyone other than the competion judge. Presentations will be done Friday morning and their scores will added to their Thursday scores.
