(From Mrs. Carter) We coordinated our experiments with a sister class in Atlanta Georgia that was also studying Northern Dogs. We brought in different dogs and compared them to Northern dogs. We brought in a bulldog, a terrier, and a mastiff. We measured their pads and compared their coats. We charted the Iditarod. Each student chose a musher and charted that musher on a map of the race. Progress of each musher was tracked by following the race times and standings as posted on the internet.
