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?

On the left side of your notebook:
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.
