What We Accomplished Today: well, actually on Tuesday

- made progress in our ecosystem field study project
- put our information into tables, artfully designed by me
- made a play list on my iPod
- finished the climatogram
- classified some of the insects we trapped
- ate my lunch
- classified some vegetation


My Thoughts On The Class:


- I'm glad that Nils did the climatogram because I probably would have done it wrong and don't really understand the concept of it
- finding the height of the tree was easy since I'm so good at trig and it was a good reminder
- it would have been more beneficial to do this in the spring because we would have trapped more insects and seen more wildlife
- it would be interesting to see the finished products of the class next semester to see the differences between our projects


Above and Beyond:


- a climatogram is show variation in only two factors; temperature and precipitation. Although there are other factors that affect the climate, a climatogram does give a rough idea of the climate in a particular biome
- below is a picture of the wood ant resembling the one that we trapped and classified

- below again, is a picture of some moose I saw the other day

- also, just wondering if this fish is actually real or not

Taylor is awesome
