PART 2
In Context: Curriculum Passage (Wildlife Field Science)
Subtotal: ___ / 10 accurate
Wildlife biologists use trail cameras to observe nocturnal forest animals. Before setting up equipment, technicians must (11)determine the best trail location. Field workers (12)securely fasten each waterproof device to a tree trunk. The sensors can (13)operate quietly in freezing temperatures without human (14)assistance. Whenever a passing animal triggers the infrared beam, the lens captures an (15)instant digital photograph. This automated method prevents any sudden (16)disruption to wild animals in their natural (17)habitat. Later in the semester, biology students (18)examine the image files to map animal (19)movement. These camera traps deliver (20)valuable ecological data.

Trail Cameras in the Forest
Wildlife biologists use trail cameras to observe nocturnal forest animals. Before setting up equipment, technicians must determine the best trail location. Field workers securely fasten each waterproof device to a tree trunk. The sensors can operate quietly in freezing temperatures without human assistance. Whenever a passing animal triggers the infrared beam, the lens captures an instant digital photograph. This automated method prevents any sudden disruption to wild animals in their natural habitat.
