Spring Has Sprung In A Deciduous Forest Biome

At the edge of the field I heard a lawn mower and some leaves rustling in the wind. I felt the wind blowing calmly and the sun beating down. It was very warm outside and the breeze was very light. I saw a bush, very green grass, blossoms on flowers, tress growing their leaves back and butterflies and bees flying around. At the second site, the pond, I heard nothing except the wind again. I felt the wind blowing and sun beating down on me again. It was warm and breezy as it was at the previous site. I saw flowers, blossoms, butterflies, flowers, and a tennis ball. At the last site, the creek, I heard the leaves blowing in the wind. I felt the wind blowing and the sun beating down on me. I saw leaves starting to grow back in the trees, frogs hopping around in the pond, and skunk cabbage.

EcoTower Observation #3

Our original animals were fish (9), crickets (5), snails (8), and worms (10). As far as we know all of our animals are still alive. We think all of our animals are still alive because we have a good oxygen supply and a good source of food. Also, they have plenty of room to move around in and the carbon, nitrogen and water cycles are all working together properly. Our original plants were beans and algae. The beans are doing very well but, the algae is starting to die. We think the beans are doing well because of the good amount of water we gave them and the algae is most likely dying because of the lack of sunlight. The water has become very cloudy but, you can still see inside the bottle well enough to see the fish. I think that our EcoTower will live until the very last day of the 6 weeks.

Animal Ears Lab

In this lab we used a clicky pen, our own ears, and ears that were made out of paper plates using scissors to cut a slit in each one. We were testing how far someone could hear a clicking pen with both their own ears and with enhanced ears. The addition of the enhanced ears did not help me to hear the clicks for a longer distance, it actually made hearing it worse. My distance decreased while having the enhanced ears on.
