Sara Carter came to the HHES 5th/6th grade library classes to teach students avalanche safety facts.
Carter brought probes, light-weight shovels, slope meters, locator beacons, dvd’s with footage of actual avalanche activity and more!
Carter shared a variety of hands-on activites and even a simulated avalanche the students helped create using plywood to represent a mountain side, and miniature trees. They created snow using flour and sugar to create prime avalanche conditions. Students used a toy snow machine to demonstrate travel on the unstable conditions. Checkit out!
