A cool biology blog by Collin

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

 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...

 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...

 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:

 

 

 Here is where i will be conducting research, the banks of a river and the close by trees. The categories of study will be water flow rate and wind speed.
