Field Trip
June 5th & 6th of 2003 Cobourg’s CDCI East physical geography class went to the Leslie Frost Center just north of Minden Ontario. The purpose of this trip was for students to learn about geomorphology and the adverse effects that mankind has made on our earth.When the students first arrived at the center, they dropped off there personal belongings and then went on a 3.5 km geomorphology hike. A majority of students didn’t seem to like this. This was probably due to the all the black flies and mosquitoes. They were a nightmare. Throughout the hike there was 15 various stops. During the 1st stop the students saw some bedrock (earth’s crust) and learned about the crust. Most students were already familiar with this because they were supposed to be paying attention when Mr. Brown, the geography teacher, was teaching this. The 2nd and 3rd stop the students saw a glacial float, a huge boulder that sits above ground. This boulder was carried by glaciers and then left behind as the glaciers melted. They also saw glacial till, a mixture of clay, sand, gravel, and boulders which were also left behind by glaciers. Next was a stream which turned out to be the 4th stop. The students could see how the stream was eroded and a
I think this trip was a very educational one for the students. The students learned about the ecological effects that mankind has made on the earth. They also learned just how important the earth is, as well as fragile. After the stop the students hit the road again and arrived at the school about an hour later, ending the trip.
