Unfortunately I missed lab on Monday I had some stuff I had to take care of for my biology class. So I went in on
Tuesday to write up my research question and to develop my hypothesis for my
leaf pack trap project. Originally I had planned to place traps in three different
water locations that we had checked out last semester at Rio Salado Park. I was
hoping to place one at the river and the other two, at two ponds near the
river. Well, of course when I got there I realized the river had dried up so
since I need to get the project started I had to make some last minute
decisions. I decided to place all three in the same pond of which I found three
different areas along the bank. The first was a very polluted area with dead trees
and such, the second was several yards down and was clearer, the last one was on
the other side of the pond that was the clearest of the three locations. There
are several things I can test for so I’m going in on Friday to go over my
protocol.
The pictures make it look much worse than it actually was
