Field Study
By Jack Duffin 5-6
This field study is focused on studying the plants and changes throughout the weeks. This unit will also focus on how different animals learned to survive in this biome. I want to see the change that happens in a normal environment and actually see the change that I would usually not see on a hike.
Prediction
My prediction is that there will be little change throughout the weeks unless there is rainfall. The rainfall will increase the depth of the creek and and the speed the water will flow. The rainfall would also increase the development of the plants around the creek, where my site is.
Data
Each observation will include:
Biotic Data
Abiotic Data
Site Data

Questions
- My site is a deciduous forest. I can tell because it has a warm summer, short shrubs, moss and lichen grow in abundance, many tall trees, and there are many small animals.
- In my site, there are many relationships. There is the bee and the flower, since the bee pollinates the flower, there is the lizard and small insects, since the lizard eats the insects, and there is the tree and the organisms, since they rely on each other for respiratory purposes.
- There is a food chain in my site. It goes as follows.
