EFG
Primary Domain

Detailed Description
Students will study about plants that mice depend on for survival. The plants will be identified and the students will study what part of the plant the mice gather (which is the underground tuber of the mare's-tail plant) or horse tail plant.Qetek
Students will learn about the scientific method of how the mice gather underground tuber for food.

Find a set of mouse holes, start poking with a stick or knife. If you find a nest, somewhere in that area is a food storage. Start poking near the area and feel for hollow place with your knife or stick. If you hear a crunching sound, start opening it with your knife on the surface and check inside. You will find a bunch of mouse food not only in one area, for they usually have more than one storage. Select the large and best nuts or roots, leaving unwanted behind. You may look for more until your pack sack is full.
