On the poster, I had many different sections: Characteristics, Geology, Power, Preservation, People who have gone over Niagara Falls, and Tourism. I found some pretty cool pictures to put on the poster. I found one of Niagara Falls at night, another in which no water was running over American Falls, and many others!
These photos are some of the ones I used on my poster. From top left going clockwise: "American Falls 'shut off' during erosion control efforts, in 1969."; Horseshoe Falls; Niagara Falls at night; "Bobby Leach and his barrel after his trip over Niagara Falls, 1911"
Niagara Falls in Winter & American Falls. (The small falls to the right in the second pic are Bridal Veil Falls.)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful job Aimee, looks like you learned a lot...bet you didn't know all that information before you started the project! School can be fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project! I was to Niagara Falls once a long time ago with Grampa and Gramma and I would love to go back someday:) Is it named that from the native Americans or where did the name come from?

ReplyDeleteAccording to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls, Niagara Falls is named for . . . "According to Iroquoian scholar Bruce Trigger, "Niagara" is derived from the name given to a branch of the locally residing native Neutral Confederacy, who are described as being called the "Niagagarega" people on several late 17th century French maps of the area."
Thanks everyone! I really did learn a lot & I did enjoy doing the project!
