The CREW Marsh trails are composed of four ecosystems: pine flatwoods, marsh, pop ash slough, and hammock. Each of these ecosystems have different soils and vegetation. The first trail that I took was the Pine Flatwood trail. I found that the ground was flat and sandy, and there were little to no puddles or mud on the ground. As the name of the trail suggested, the majority of the trees in this ecosystem were tall pines, though I did see some palm trees. There was a lot of open air, and…

Florida During summer vacation, in the year 2011 my family and I went on a trip to Florida to meet up with some of our relatives. This was my first time ever going to Florida and I was really excited to go. But one of us had to stay home and take care of our pets, so my dad stayed home to take care of them. It took about half a day for us to get ready to go and like 4 or 5 hours until we were out of Michigan.My brothers and I would stay up all night to see how cool the city looked at night. We…

A guy caught real footage of a Burmese python, an invasive species, wrestling an alligator. The python ate it, but as it was digesting the alligator, the python basically broke in half because the alligator was so big.. These Burmese Pythons are a huge problem because of so many reasons. They can grow up to 20 feet long “3 times the length Lebron James' is”(7). This was the first snake able…

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…

Pencil Me In For The Zombie Apocalypse Legends of the risen dead have come from most of the world’s cultures in order to encourage fear or hope-based obedience.

The zombies typically seen in movies come in three categories; zombies raised specifically to serve a master, zombies…

in time wasn’t until 4 o’clock pm. First, we decided to go eat lunch at Fudpuckers. I decided to try alligator, it was tough and didn’t have must taste at all. They have live alligators. You can sit and explore and watch them interact with other live alligators and people. As we got closer to the live alligators all I seemed to notice is their scaly body and extremely unpleasant smell. The alligators smelled like a dead rat that had been sitting in a room for hours. If you wanted to pay more…
