Week 1

Objective
The objective of this project is to observe an assigned site in O’hair Park and monitor the change that happens within a 4 week period. We will also observe the different food chains and factors in our designated site.
Observation
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

Data
Each observation will include:
Biotic Data
- Height of different plants
- Percent coverage of the plants
- Number of animals (different types and numbers for each animal)
- Percentage of leaves on a tree.
Abiotic Data
