While on their journey, children will also examine depth and volume, the First People, the fur trade, the steel industry, the shipping industry, shipwrecks, locks, lighthouses, recreation, pollution, bridges, poetry about the lakes, Mackinac Island, Manitoulin Island, the food chain, invasive species, the Erie Canal, lake effect snow, Niagara Falls, biomagnification, the St. Lawrence Seaway, fish and frogs and even The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald!
