Reflection
During this Skype I learned a lot about some back round knowledge on the history of Yellowstone National Park. This experience was very valuable because It will help us a lot with our Oregon Trail simulation and It was fun learning all about the cool hot springs. I learned that a hot spring could get up to over 200 degrees! Another thing that I learned is that geysers can get up 400 degrees which is so hot you would pretty much melt!
