2.

Random Numbers!! Ok, this is a weird one, so read closely. We need some random numbers!

But what if we don’t have dice? Or a spinner? Or anything else that easily chooses randomly?

Your job is to think of 3 ways to get random numbers with what you have on hand,

and tell us the range of numbers you could get. Bonus points for involving pets (in gentle and kind ways).

Method	Range	Is it really random?
Flip a coin 10 times and add up all the heads:	0-10	It’s OK, but I keep ending up with 4, 5, or 6

3.

It’s Saltspring Conservancy Week! They’re pretty bummed that we’re not coming, but they have some cool stuff for us.

Your Mission: Find birds! You’ll need 2 resources:

Their Master Bird List for Saltspring (I had no idea there were so many!!!)

https://saltspringconservancy.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/birdlist.pdf

And some tools for identifying. There’s even apps for that!!!!

Really, all you need to do is sit on the deck with a cup of tea and watch and listen.
See if you can get 10! It’s the original Pokemon game,
but folks have been doing it for hundreds of years. Gotta [not] Catch Them All!

Bird (suggested - you can change them)	Saw? Heard? Picture?
