Young Conservation Scientific Discoveries

Scientific Discoveries

Geology: The rocks change color in water do to the chemical situation of the water with organic decomposing into the water. Why was the sand red by the creek?

Human Impact: Silvery oil in the water. Trees planted to stop erosion on the sign. Bullet shells and the shot cans.

Chemistry: Water and Soil levels were normal

Zoology: Many butterflies spicebush swallowtails, many diverse animals especially mammals, deer prints, raccoon prints, many fish, caught a huge crawfish, and small crawfish, many frogs and minnows. Caught a very large fish,

Botany: Almost tomato like fruit, very toxic. Type of thorn KP told Botany about. American sycamore

Meteorology: 15 degrees between shadow area and sunny area. Shadow area was much windier. Rain could have made water very basic.

Data analysis: Lots of flowers, more insects and butterflies. Water was nasty, lots of bushes but not for aquatic life, microstegium is invasive plant in the area.
