We were quite curious about the animal life in a bog. The students talked together and asked each other questions to try to figure out what was floating in the water!
After two rotations it was time for lunch. Mr. Check offered us to try a fiddlehead fern.
Fiddleheads or Fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable. Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond . As fiddleheads are harvested early in the season before the frond has opened and reached its full height, they are cut fairly close to the ground. Fiddleheads have antioxidant activity, are a source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and are high in iron and fiberCertain varieties of fiddleheads have been shown to be carcinogenic.
WE ARE HODAGS!
Field Trips are successful because of the support we have from home.
