Field study entry 4, 11/1/26

Image
 This is my 4th visit to me field study spot, it was very interesting this time, I had several question of which i shall talk about later. The time was 5:35 PM on a Sunday evening. There was a slight wind of about 3 miles per hour, and the temperature was about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The sun had rose that day at 7:18 AM, the sunset was at 5:36 PM, and the total length of day was 10 hours and 18 minutes. It was dryish, there wasn't any water on the ground or anything of the sort, but I could somewhat feel the humidity in the air. The sun was setting at the time I was there as well, it was a little bit beautiful. Some things I was wondering was that the leaves had fallen, but in my last visit, they were still there and green, only A few had fallen. That made me wonder if i had missed the period of when the leaves are bright orange and red, because now the trees were barren. A smelled a lot of plant scent though.I also saw 3 deer klomping through the trees. Now here is a list of the s...

Field Study of October 12

Image
 At my place of study it was quite relaxing. The date was October 12 2026. It was almost dusk at 6:04 PM. there was a slight breeze of 12 Miles per hour in the air. It was half sunny half cloudy but one could still feel the warmth. The temperature was 79 degrees Fahrenheit. I honestly felt like a belonged there in a way. The amount of daylight that day was 11 Hours and 54 Minutes with the sunrise at 7:54 AM and sundown at 7:06 PM. I had noticed quite a few changes since my last visit. I saw hints of fall colors such as a bit of orange. However, most plants were still light green. Another hint at fall that I saw was the abnormal number of leaves on the ground uniquely belonging to fall. Something that I noticed in the wildlife was that there were less noises from natural sources overall, I did not hear as many birds chirping, the squirrels were still out though. There were also a higher number of dead plants, most likely from the cold. That made me wonder, What kills plants? how do ...

A video about my field of study

 Here is a video about the area that I am studying. Pls don't giggle about my voice pls.

My second blog post of how all things are doing at my location.

 Today is September 27, I went down to my site of study today, the air was warm at a healthy 67 degrees Fahrenheit. I arrived there at 1:12PM. There were other people walking around with their D\dogs and children. It was a great day to be out, It was nice and sunny, but not blazing because I was amongst the trees. The amount of daylight i had was 11 hours and 58 minutes. They squirrels were alive and climbing(picture below), As well as trying to drop a good many acorns on me. However they missed those bombing 3+ times. The crickets were making noises that I assumed were for mating, I heard this a lot for the hour that I was there. I heard several small birds tweeting, as well as one large raven or crow, I honestly don't know the difference. A bug also crawled on me as well, which I flicked away with my pencil. I felt bad after i did that because I am almost certain that in the Bible it says somewhere to respect all creation and flicking a bug is not honoring that. While I was sitti...

My sketch of a plant(Bonus Comments)

Image
 Today I went down to my place of research to record some observations. There i found an interesting plant, I thought that it looked like a fern. So I decided that my sketch would be this specific plant. Here is the actual plant. Now here is my sketch When I was observing the plant, I noticed that some part of it looked chewed off, I then wondered what animal would have liked to eat a fern. Other part of this plant were brown and had holes in them so I wondered if the plant was getting enough water and nutrients. And while I was looking at the plant, I remembered that this plant was next to a river. I then wondered if plants next to rivers flourish more. And that where my train of though related to this fern-looking plant ended.
  Experimental Design Diagram       State your question: How does wind speed affect water flow rate? Research to find quality background information on things already known about the relationship between your chosen variables.  Always be thinking in terms of CLAIM, EVIDENCE, REASONING! Wind speed can push or pull the water in a river, affecting the flow rate. It can also aid in the evaporation of the water. Based on your own background knowledge and your research, make your prediction (What do you think will happen in the experiment.) If______wind speed is pointed own river_______ Then______the river flow rate will increase_______  Because_____the water pushes the surface water________. Create a data table.( not needed yet.      List 5 (at least!) controlled variables important for this specific experiment. Done in the fall Done in the same river and location on the river Done on a sunday every time Same rocks used for the experiment Done o...

Some pictures of my location

 Here is a compilation of pictures of my area where I am observing and investigating. This is a picture of the river where I will be investigating and observing. One thing I will be doing is seeing how the wind affects the water flow rate in the river. Hear are some STATS: The date was 9/6/2026, It was sunny and humid, the temperature was 76 degrees fFhrenheit, the amount of time the sun was out per day was 12 hours and 55 minutes, and I could hear crickets, water, and plants rustling! here are some other pictures:
