During the fieldtrip, which was held Thursday, February 22, I have made a lot of realization. Thronateeska and The Flint Riverquarium supplied me with an abundance of information on the Earth and beyond it. Now I have knowledge on how the solar system and the Earth was created, fossils and other science materials, the dangers of plastic, and creatures living amongst us humans. This was a very thrilling experience for me and I can’t wait until I can visit again. When I was watching the first film Oasis in Space I noticed that the narrator said that there is water and possibly life on other planets. I believed that there is life on planets besides earth and much more. We haven’t studied all parts of the Earth nor the universe so this isn’t a true or false statement until proven. The same theory applies to aliens and mermaids because we haven’t seen it all.

This activity helped me learn new things about different types of studies, such as Archeology and Meteorology. I found out that butterflies can emerge from cocoons in space and zero gravity, so cool! Scientist named this experiment “butterflies in space”, which is a very simple name for such an astounding moment. I also learned that the k-T Boundary is a distinct layer found in rock formations and that the “recharge area” is the area that allows rainwater to slowly percolate back into natural storage areas. However, I did know that the primary colors of light are red, blue, and green. I was surprised when my friend Kennedè thought they were red and white. The hunt came out to be the funniest activity of them

    The documentary “Tapped” sheds some light on the dangers of bottled water. One of my favorite points the documentary talks about is how the thousands and thousands of plastic water bottles are affecting us and our world.

Plastic is not nature based, therefore it is not organic, meaning it can’t decompose, or give anything to the environment except pollution, death, and trash.…

Plastic is used in also every medium of my day, like many other people would agree, as its use is unavoidable.

    When human eat the animals that infected with chemicals from plastic bags, these chemicals can disrupt the normal functioning of hormones in the body. Over time, they will cause cancer, and develop other serious conditions. Additionally, plastic bags are produced from non-renewable resources such as petroleum, ethylene and coal (Environment Protection and Heritage Council, 2002; Wan, 2008). A lot of energy is also used in producing plastic bags, so these reasons contribute to climate change. Plastic bags do not degrade easily, which they just break down into small tiny pieces.…
