2. Build a sled to travel to the sea ice camp

3. Video: How do the Netsilik use the resources in their environment to build a sled?

4. Diagram of the reuse of resources: How would you use these materials when the warmer weather comes?

It is late fall, and we are at the autumn river camp. We need to build a sled that will allow us to travel to the sea ice camp

for the winter months.

What requirements must the sled fulfill?

Use the resources available to you to build your sled:

With your group, you must come up with a way to make a sled that uses all of these materials. Record your ideas in either a

paragraph or a diagram.

Building a sled at the autumn river camp:

1. How were the materials joined?

2. What properties of the materials allowed them to be used in that way?

Diagram the reuse of materials:

When the weather becomes warm the Netsilik take apart their sled and recycle the

materials. Draw a diagram showing how each material was used in the sled, and how

it will be used in the warm weather.
