All About Syrup

Last week I went on a field trip. I learned a lot of things about maple trees and syrup. So now I will tell you one thing I learned  from each station. We had six stations. Each class at the stations were maybe about ten to fifteen minutes long.

1. At the first station, I leaned that the Native Americas cooked the sap by heating rocks in the fire and then put it in the sap to turn it in to syrup.
2. At the second station, I learned that it has to be freezing through the night and above freezing during the day to get syrup.
3. At the third station, I learned that Vermont produces the most syrup and on the Vermont state quarter there's a person tapping a tree.
4. At Station Eat, I learned that food is good. :)
5. At  the fifth station, I learned the layers of the trees.
6. At the sixth station, I learned how to tap a tree, and I tapped a tree myself with a little help from Conner S. and a teacher.

I got to help put the bucket on the tree
