The focus of Trip 8 is on freshwater ecosystems, the fishes that live in them and on some of the forest types that occur around the great lakes (White/Red/Jack Pine, Aspen/Birch and the general Taiga, or Boreal forest, biome). This will also be the trip where physics, as it is applied to living things, is experienced. Another focus will be on fossils from the Paleozoic era.
