My experience with Holz Lake was unique to say the least, from leaking waders to completely falling into the water it was all a very hands on activity. Coming to SES one of the things I was most excited for was the pond profile. All of the teachers said, “Don’t feel bad if you fall into the pond, it happens every year.” Hearing this, I knew I would likely be the student to fall into the pond. I’m just that clumsy; however I planned to be very cautious during every visit to the pond. Our…

Both American White Pelicans and Flamingos can lay up to four or five eggs.American white pelicans and Flamingos have similarities and differences in their bodies.They both have beaks and feathers. American white pelicans can fly. Flamingos can not fly but if they…
you had made up my mind. As you waded into the warm azure water, you began to worry. “What if a shark comes” “are my family still in the boat?” you pushed these worries out of your mind and dove in. the water was warm, and that was a good thing, there was a cold wind standing on the beach. The boat was about a hundred feet out in somewhat deep water, maybe 20 feet. Around the boat there was an oil slick “I’ll have to dive under that” you though as you approached. Suddenly, a great shadow loomed…
able to survive and live comfortably in. Temperature was found to be a factor affecting the rate of oxygen consumption by altering dissolved oxygen levels. As stated by Powell et al. (2006), there shows to be less dissolved oxygen in warmer waters, and these waters have been found to increase rates of ectotherms that are in the respective conditions, because in order to survive they must acclimate to their environment (Daniels and Ermitage, 1968). According to this study, if the crayfish used…
did not clean every time. I predict that Mrs. Pearce closest table to her desk will collect the least amount of bacteria because they are less commonly used and clean sometime. Procedure: Control: We took three Q tips, Dip one untouched side in water, Then rub it on the wet zone. We then take one untouched side and rub it on the dry side. 1: Locker D2165; First we grabbed our q tip and wet it. Second we slowly swab and spin the untouched cotton swab side on the cylindrical dial of the lock…
Glittering sunlight bathed the world below it in shades of gold. The smell of stagnant water and juniper lingered in the air. Gleaming water flowed into Lake Billy Chinook from the Dechutes, Crooked and Metolius. All mixing together to form a long ended valley full of ultramarine agua that was often much too cold to swim in; But I did not care. Splash. Euphonious sounds of laughter and boat engines running rings through the valley, bringing nothing but a colossal smile much too large for my…
Also, they protect the state from high winds by powering down the storm. Take for instance, some of the last few storms have caused an abundance of flooding due to the disappearance of the wetlands. Places that have never flooded become so full of water that many people evacuate. The wetlands of Louisiana are not just vital to the state of Louisiana, but also for the protection of the nation. Although the wetlands provide protection from storms,the wetlands provide a rich culture which…
The Industrial Revolution had mostly negative effects but there were some positive outcomes. There was good and bad situations happening to the workers such as getting paid and having a good environment. Also some workers got hurt by the machines and would get sick since the machine caused pollution. One of the positive effects during the Industrial Revolution was that the workers in the factories had a good environment that was clean and safe . Every other worker was doing their job. In…
During this lab, my main goal was to discover exactly how much phosphorus (or phosphate) is in the composition of plant food, or in the case of the Guided Inquiry portion of the lab, in two different brands of plant food. If I put it in the most concise way possible, to do this, I carried out quite a few processes that caused the components of the plant food to separate from each other. Basically, I got the phosphorus, along with some other substances, to form as a precipitate. Next, through a…
the idea of low water velocity but high water storage. (Knight, 1999). There are currently 3 main theories behind the mechanisms that cause surge glaciers; these are thermal, hydrological and the deformable bed mechanisms. However there are also other theories there are also less well studied reasons as to what causes surge glaciers or in fact surges themselves. Thermal…
