What We Did Today (Friday Oct 9,2009):


•We worked on our Ecosytem Field Study assignments


• Looked up what type of trees and insects we got





My Thoughts:


•Looking at the bugs on the microscope was pretty sweet.


•Thought it was hard to find what some of the insects are like one of the spiders.


•I think this project is pretty fun and should do more like this but with nicer weather.
 
• Think it cool learning more about our ecosystem.


Above and Beyond:


•Aspen Poplar



(Populus tremuloides)
Up to 30 m in height, bark at first smooth, greenish-white, becoming rough and dark grey with age, terminal bud is sharp and pointed, all buds dark brown.

• The Aspen tree is one of the most common in Alberta.
