ODS Curriculum - The Hike - Tracks page finished. Transferred with minimal changes from previous animals curriculum site.

Be careful not to step on the tracks! Mark the track with some red tape. Look around, are there other tracks in the area? Figure out which way the animal was traveling and see if you can find a trail of tracks.

Mark each track with some tape. Measure the distance between the tracks to determine where the next one should be. Look closely at the tracks. Count the toes. Study the shape of the pad. Can you see claws? Is it a hoofed animal? Was the animal speeding up? Slowing down? Walking or running? Can you see more than one track on top of another? Why might animals do this?

Measure one track. How big is the animal? Draw the track in your field notebook. Look up the track and see who made it.
