Oregon 2023!

What I found cool! “Sally The SeaLion”

My friends and me acting as wild animals!!!

Extra Info I learnt at the Museum. First Exhibit: -Back in the day they would catch HUGE fish in 11 inch nets. -To run a boat you need: engines, pumps, electronic navigation, and communication equipment, heating and cooling systems, paint, lights, propellers, and other manufactured parts. the Ladder The big latter is the tallest latter so far. It was used to hang off the side of ships where the bar pilots stayed to tell the ship where to go. U.S.S Shark: The Shark reached the coast of Oregon in July 1846. It was ordered to survey the Columbia River. In September, their mission was complete. They attempted to then leave the river after it was done. However the ship was swept into the breakers on the Columbia River Bar. 162 years later a discovery was made. The Indigenous Section: There is a lot of information in this museum. In this bubble, describe the impact that the arrival of the first colonists to this area had on the First Peoples. Include some facts from the display. Write at least 5-9 sentences. Try to include information on how their worldview was impacted. western red cedar was a vital component to fulfil their everyday needs. Shipwrecks: Blue Magpie: in 1983, when the Blue magpie crashed into a rock jetty at Newport Oregon, the boat leaked and estimated 70000 gallons of fuel oil. A lot of the oil was washed out to sea due to the wind and currents, however the oil that washed ashore posed a significant danger to the wildlife. -peter Iredale: is one of Oregon&apos;s most iconic shipwreck sites. Crossing the Bar: Script: The Columbia river bar is where the fast enormous moving river collides with the incredibly powerful Pacific Ocean. The two powerful forces bam into each other at the entrance of the river, which then creates some of the biggest worst condition in the world. I personally would never cross the bar, because I get sea sick, and scared of small waves alone. Would you cross the bar?

It was closed, so we didn&apos;t go in, but we did see a few whales!

Depoe Bay is known as the worlds smallest navigatable harbor. On March 11, 2011, the port was damaged by a tsunami caused by an earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area What is the story of the Lighthouse? For a LONG time the coast of Oregon was extremely stormy, had harsch winds, and big waves making it hard to navigate through. It was very hard to build the lighthouse because of the amount of trees, and the bad roads (or shall I say paths). So in order to build the life house the materials were brought by boat. The light for the Yaquina Head was customized in FRANCE, and the lense is made up of 258 pieces of glass. It took roughly 2 years to build. It it 162 feet above the sea, and overtime the lighthouse’s power source changed from oil to electricity, and in 1966 the Yaquina Heads light was changed to make it automatic so the lighthouse family didn’t have to work. 1 interesting Fact. The Yaquina Head Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon, and the second oldest!

Describe the criteria you used for your experiment. What were the results? For our experiment, we got one female crab and one male crab. They were similar in size, and both had the same amount of legs. We got this tube runway thing, and some sponges to act as walls on both sides of the tube so they can’t escape. We chose to chase after the crabs with our fingers to actually make it move. In the end the outcome was that the girls were faster, which is what our hypotheses/prediction was.

Drawing to represent that the girls were faster.

The first settlers found Tillamook Valley amazing, for a few reasons. The first main reason is that the cool climate allowed the grass to be nice and green. That lead to healthy cows for the milk and products they needed for their cheese to be cheese.

Late 1700 hundreds HUGE storms, treturace currents, incredibly strong wind. Ships met their end on the shores near here due to waves’ Oregons tallest and second oldest operating lighthouse. Was built in 1872-73 162 feet above sea -come by sea to build due to all of the trees and rough roads or shall I say paths. Hard to build because of weather. The light can be seen by ships more than -258 pieces of glass make up the lense. -a long time ago the people made many journal entries that helped, but were very specific. -must be kept neat. Has a cleaner. -light keepers never lost track- main job was to ALWAYS have the light going. -lights power source was changed from fuel o electricity, -2 sec on, 2 sec off, 2 sec on, 14 sec off, repeat.

Columbia River Maritime Museum Crossing the Bar Section

Would I ever cross the bar?  No, definitely not. I am already scared for small waves let alone those HUGE waves! I would probably fly off of the boat, get really sea sick, and it’s just not my type of thing.

Here I will be talking all about the business I interviewed, as well as how it went, what went well, and what we could do better on next time!

So the business I interviewed was Marine Discovery Tours! First off I would like to say how fun that whole experience was, we got to cross the bar, I got to experience some of the biggest waves in my life, we saw whales, sea lions, crabs, starfish, and krill! It was sooo coooollll, and I would 100% do it again. Moving on, let’s talk about how the interview went. I’d say it went pretty, well, we learnt the whole backstory of the family owned business, we learnt about what they thought of the advertisement, they told us the colours they liked, and how they weren’t that pleased anymore with their logo. Somethings we could do better if we could do it again, we could maybe make our questions a little less similar, I felt that each one of our questions had a very similar answer, I think we could also think of some good lead on questions. Overall I think we did very great!

Cannon Beach is most well known for  Haystack Rock. It is sometimes called the third largest intertidal rock in the world.

I am so excited to go to the Astoria Column! I am not excited to climb those stairs but I feel like it will be worth it once we get to see the view! I am also very excited to go to Cannon Beach for the incredible rock!

The main thing I am excited to see are the wolves, I have never seen one in real life before and I am SOOOOO excited! I also really want to see a whale! The business I got assigned was the marine tours, and now that I have read all about it, I am excited and want to see a whale, or a seal. I am also really excited to see some fish, and starfish in the tide pools!

What worked? What didn&apos;t? What would you do differently next time? My group was almost AMAZING!! For the first “quest” today we did really good! We were the first group to get all 20 sea creature photos. However our second quest we could’ve done better. We all read out the clues, but we missed the side boxes unfortunately and only realized until we got back down. Somehow we ended up making it to the top and got the stamp, we just didn’t get the final word. Overall I think we need to work on communicating, and being more involved and aware.

Because they want to inform the public about the importance of tsunamis. Especially since we are in an area where there is that possibility that one could happen. It is just a really good thing to know safety wise, and just to be aware just in case.

We couldn’t because they are one of a kind, unique, and apart of a habitat. They are only found on that beach, if you do take them you can get fined quite a lot of money. Apparently if you take them, sucks for you because bad luck rushes to you.

I chose to film the fish cave in Cabela’s because I didn’t even notice it at first, and overall it was a surprise. I also found it very cool and unexpected. I chose this video because it was the only video that I took! I also found it unique as the fish seemed to be the only alive animals in that store.

Hatfield Marine Science Center R.O.V. Challenge

My group didn’t do great, in fact we never actually got it to do what it needed to do. The main challenge we went through was probably all throwing to get on the same page, with similar ideas on what we wanted it to look like, and work. I was going for more of a simple easy design, while a lot of my group wanted to go for like this cone shape. In the end we ended up just making a cube because we didn’t have the right connectors. We eventually overcame that challenge once we figured out that we were struggling and I offered the simple cube idea. In the end it performed pretty rough. The magnet was quite difficult to stick onto the “bot” and was quite odd, and the mothers could’ve been in a better spot. I think next time we should all go around the table and ask for each others ideas to get a feel for what we all thought, I felt like my group was defiantly taking control.

First time I had DQ Fries!! I personally didn’t like them that much..

I learnt a lot about what military life was like for the Americans, British, and Canadians. I learnt a lot from the re-enactors, it was a very cool experience. The main thing I took away from the conversations with the re-enactors were a few little facts. My favourite fact was how they dropped these boxes full of stuff, example medicine, and threw it off of the plane. It was attached to a parachute to make the landing somewhat smooth, the parachute that I was looking at could hole 185 lbs!!! Each box had different painted strips, this determined in like code where to put the box on the beach, depending on the colour of the stripes!

Because without businesses like this, we wouldn’t be able to socialize and have fun in this way! In small(er) towns, people normally know each other, meaning that these activities would be pretty important to them. Also it would attract the public which would lead to the town becoming more popular and maybe even more successful. Overall it is good to have these small businesses for a way to socialize, have fun, and to support the community!

The Wolf Haven was an incredible and unique experience, filled with information, learning, fun, and of course really cute wolves! We learnt a few things about wolves like how to identify whether they are a herbivore or not by their eyes, nose, and teeth, we also learnt about different types of wolves and their populations in different times. I think this sanctuary is important because it teaches us how wolves, coyotes, and plants impact our lives and history. I really like this sanctuary because they rescue wolves in need, and I really appreciate how they put the wolves before people. I personally hate zoo’s, yes they are fun to go to, but they are just a terrible way for an animal to live its life, it could be out in the wild or in a place like the Haven, but no zoo’s trap helpless animals in small habitats and cages. I found the wolf semitary quite interesting, I really wasn’t expecting it, and believe it or not I started tearing up, you can ask my friends.. Having the Wolf Haven helps people understand wolves, and learn all about them, it is a good habitat to help the wolves and coyotes live their lives in a safe, large, free environment without them feeling trapped, and scared. Overall I think the Wolf Haven is important because it educates people, without putting the wolves in harm, fear, or making them feel stressed. I had an amazing time learning about the plants, wolves, and place, by the way my favourite wolf was… drum rollll please… yes I hate to pick favourites but…. ______, s/he was so cute and they had this gene passed from their dad, where their tongue sticks out!!! 🤣 literally sooooo cuteeeeeeee.

Hatfield Marine Science Center Estuary Investigation

We need more citizen scientists in our world to help support and answer the simple questions, and thoughts today. Having more citizen scientists will help answer big questions that we have been wondering, and it will get us closer to the future we want. They will help us learn more about our earth, and planet. They collect data, design experiments, and solve problems! I REALLY enjoyed this experiment, I personally didn’t really enjoy holding them, but I liked to use the slurper. Overall it was very fun, and I enjoyed being a citizen scientist, measuring out different sizes of shrimp, and learning more about shrimp!

There is a lot of information in this museum. In this bubble, describe the impact that the arrival of the first colonists to this area had on the First Peoples. Include some facts from the display. Write at least 5-9 sentences. Try to include information on how their worldview was impacted. Well the First People’s got impacted in a few significant ways. When the first European colonizers came to Columbine, the Chinook peoples, that had been living there for years before this arrival, were probably quite sceptical, scared, curious, but still welcoming. The Europeans then established a fur trading business, forcing the First Peoples to stop practicing their beliefs, and traditions. The Europeans also stole a bunch of the red cedar, which was a HUGE part and factor in the First Peoples every day life. All of their religions and traditions came to a stop, and the Europeans took over their land. Overall the First Peoples would’ve seen the Europeans as the evil bad guys after this.

The Astoria Column is 125 feet tall and is covered on the outside by a 22 freezes that depicts important events

I learnt a few cool things on this incredible boat ride! I learnt what it was like to cross the bar! I mean it wasn’t the Columbia river one, which I am sure would be ALOT bigger, but it was still very fun! I also learnt more about crabs. For example the 2 main types that they get around there, and even here; Dungeness, and Red Rock. I technically already knew this, but I still thought it should be said. I learnt the difference between a California sea lion and a Stellar sea lion! The stellar ones are bigger and darker. I also learnt that California sea lions go to the California islands to breed.
