Man Vs. Nature Project Reflection
Driving question: What should be done about biodiversity in the shrub steppe.
Summary
What was it about? Well the project was about biodiversity in the shrub steppe. The shrub steppe needs help because its disspearing along with all the shrub steppe animals such as the Sage Grouse and the Pygmi Rabbit.What did we do? Well we(me and my classmates) went out to the field where the shrub steppe is and observed the area. We looked at all the shrub steppe and the invasive species all around. Why did we do it? The reason I did it is because I want to help the shrub steppe and restore it back to normal. I want to get rid of all the invasive species such as cheat grass, cows, and other plants. Getting rid of invasive species such as cows and cheat grass would be impossible. We need cows for our food that we eat, and cheat grass seeds are all over and it grows pretty fast.
Key learning points
1. Going out to the field i would say would be the most important because going out to the field was the main objective for everyone.
2. In biology class almost everyone went out to the field for 3 hours. I was unable to go out to the field for the three hours due to absentness.
Work Samples
1. One of the best works, I have to say they were the Feild Investigation Report
2. Another best work to me, is the Sonnet poem about nature. I felt great about doing the assignment because it was easy, and not as hard as it may seem.
Reflection
Strengths: Some of my strenghts are poems because i like to write some poems. I like to write sonnet poems, and free verse poems. Concrete poems are not my best. I like writing and typing because i can practice my writing skills with the pencil, I type really fast.
Weakneses: Some of my weakneses are goofing off in class. Another one is falling asleep because im always super tired. The reason i'm always tired is because i'm such a heavy sleeper. I sleep very deeply and do not wake up very easy. Reading and tests are my number one weekness. Reading a book or doing a test for even a minute will put me to sleep like nothing else.
If i had to do this project over: If I had to do this project over i would have gone out to the field like everyone else. If i got to go out to the field this whole project would have been so much easier!
How I can apply what I've learned to other situations: I learned how the shrub steppe needs help, and what stuff and things in the shrub steppe needs helps. Learning this stuff helps me because in the future I can help the shrub steppe by trying my hardest to get rid of invasive species like cheat grass which would be nearly impossible due to the seeds being everywhere. Farmers are not going to give up their land to get rid of the cheat grass because the cheat grass, is what alot of the farmers grow.
