Field Study #2

 Date: September 29

Time: 3:54pm

Climate: Sunny, Slightly dry

Temperature: 78 degrees Fahrenheit 

Length Day: 11 hours, 49 minutes

Organisms: I hear birds above the trees, also there is some sitting in the trees. I can kind of see the fish, but the algae is also covering a lot. There is also lots of bugs on the leaves, and on the ground. 

Observation: It is more sunny today compared to last visit. There is more algae at the surface of the pond, and most of the leaves are still on the trees.

Final Pictures Post

      It has been so fun to see how how my location has changed over the past few months. The leaves went from green to orange and red, and to now being completely off of the trees. The weather can be seen changing here, as the transition from fall to winter is occurring. God's creation is so special, and he made it for us to enjoy things just like this!

Field Study #4

Image
  Date: November 2 Time: 5:12pm Climate: Slightly sunny, also some clouds Temperature: 42 degrees Fahrenheit  Length Day: 10 hours, 17 minutes Organisms: I noticed birds again, but much less compared to last time. The fish in the pond were not near the surface and when I looked closely I still didn't see any. There were some squirrels crawling up the trees. The falling leaves are providing nutrients for the smaller organisms within the water and surrounding the pond.  Observation: The leaves are much more of a yellow color. There is also lots of them all over the ground. There is also pretty much no algae on the surface of the pond, compared to last visit. The water also looks a lot more brown. The sun was also lower so it was not reflecting off of the water. The trees further back in my pictures also had much more colors on the leaves like red and yellow.  Question: Why do people rake up leaves if they have nutrients for microorganisms?
