Objective: To trap and observe soil organisms.
On Wednesday, we will take a field trip to study a kettle pond but also to trap some soil organims. We will use three baked potato halves per study group. We will place them on a site Wednesday, and check them on Friday.
You will be asked to identify differences in the type of organisms at each site. You also must explain why these differerences might occur. We will also collect soil samples to bring back to the lab to see if there are other organisms within the soil.
Are soil organisms considered good or bad?
Prepare your field notebooks and get your field study clothes ready.
