Tools include wooden spoons\/ladles, dugout canoes, lacrosse equipment, longhouses etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/elbowlakecentre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Dutch-Elm-Disease-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dutch Elm Disease.pdf<\/a><\/strong> teacher introduces students to the impact of Dutch elm disease on Elm trees and accordingly on Longhouses and other tools constructed with Elm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communicable Disease Lab:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In activity found in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/elbowlakecentre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Communicable-Disease-and-Invasives_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Communicable Disease and Invasives.pdf<\/a><\/strong> students are asked to draw a connection between Dutch elm disease and communicable diseases that impacts humans like Tuberculosis (TB). Dutch elm disease (DED) spreads much like human viruses. The beetles that invade trees are larger than human viruses, but transmission is similar in that they are both due to contact. Turtle Island is in the recovery phase of Dutch elm and is currently in the process of replanting the trees, even <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nature.org\/2013\/06\/04\/american-elm-tree-restoration-genetics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hybridizing elms<\/a> to weather DED better in the future \u2013 but it is not out of the woods yet. DED is less prevalent now, but that\u2019s only because there are fewer elms, not because the beetles have moved on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teacher begins by talking about the impact of TB historically, and today, in many Indigenous communities. Time permitted this could be extended into an inquiry project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The teacher explains to students that TB and other communicable diseases (like STIs) can spread rapidly. Often, a pathogen is transmitted before the carrier even knows they are infected. The purpose of the activity is to trace how quickly a disease can spread through the classroom.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After the communicable disease lab, students think about why understanding how quickly diseases can spread is important in understanding the impact of an invasive species.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;It is important because just like communicable diseases found in humans, invasive species such as the fungi Ophiostoma ulmi carried by tiny elm bark beetles, spreads rapidly and in a manner that is difficult to control!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\"
