Brook Trout (pt.2)

Big Hunting Creek

By the calculations of, 39 out of 41 points, Big hunting creek, located in Cunningham falls, MD, rated the best to have a trout population grow, live and reproduce.

Rock Creek rated a 30/41-----S.O>1 through 5=2---T.R>1 through 10=9---D.O>1 through 6=4---pH>1 through 6=5---N>1 through 10=5  and M.I> 1 through 6=5

Potomac River rated a 31/41---S.O>1 through 5=3---T.R>1 through 10=10---D.O>1 through 6=5---pH>1 through 6=6---N>1 through 10=6  and M.I> 1 through 6=1

Antietam Creek rated a 36/41---S.O>1 through 5=3---T.R>1 through 10=8---D.O>1 through 6=6---pH>1 through 6=6---N>1 through 10=7  and M.I> 1 through 6=6

Savage River rated a 28/41---S.O>1 through 5=5---T.R>1 through 10=6---D.O>1 through 6=6---pH>1 through 6=6---N>1 through 10=10 and M.I> 1 through 6=5

with Big Hunting Creek...
being the best with a 39/41---S.O>1 through 5=5---T.R>1 through 10=9---D.O>1 through 6=6---pH>1 through 6=6---N.>1 through 10=10 and M.I> 1 through 6=3


These calculations are based on Stream observation(SO)(riffles, places to hide, rocks, trees, shade),Temperature range(TR), Dissolved oxygen(DO), pH, nitrates(N), and Micro invertebrates(MI); on scales of 1-6, 1-10, and 1-5. This was a long process of observations, calculations,dealing with supplies, including cameras, computers, pencils(of coarse), calculators, and the process of trout breeding. So Big Hunting creek, with these calculations, was the best stream/creek, for our trout to live and reproduce!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry...

I hit the wrong button and just realized!!!!!

Sorry for the inconvenience of me not being on for the last few days.... a lot of thinking and preparing, meanwhile I did have some things planned for Thursday and Friday... so here they are...

Thursday

The water cycle is a very important part of our "daily" life. First the clouds rain, well, its sort of one of those which came first kind of things, chicken or the egg : Cloud or the water.... anyways, "first" comes the rain. the rain then travels down to the rivers, streams, drainage pipes... rain can also be called precipitation. So when the precipitation travels down to the streams and all, the sun ten heats up the water so much that you cant feel the heat it is still there and that causes evaporation, the process of the sun causing the water to dissolve and that is what causes the clouds to form in the sky, the whole process starts all over again. And that my friends is called the water cycle.



FRIDAY

The Mayans were sooooo wrong. Many people surprisingly expected the world to end like this... What is that about? The only way the world could end is if the suns magnetic force collapsed. That way we would be sucked into the sun, explode and blow up! Yippee Skippie! Seriously, that process would take just to six months, but we would be far dead by the time we get to the sun because of the radiation and heat.
Well Those are my two reports, my next one will be on Thursday after Christmas! 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Merry X-Mas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brook Trout

The brook trout is a fish that live in freshwater streams. And can tolerate to UP to 75 degrees fairenheight, and requires shade by trees and rocks used for shelter. In school, we have a project... To grow brook trout. We have a whole lot growing since Friday, they have made a lot of progress...

Predetor--Prey

Predators are Animals that hunt others.
Prey are Animals that are being hunted.
Some can be both.
A wolf can eat a snowshoe hare. And a bison can eat a wolf. So a wolf can be a predator and prey.

Predators and prey are both related in a way. And it is usually represented in a line graph. This way we can tell representation over a certain period of time of how the population of each animal increases and decreases. When an animals population decreases;The wolf for example;When their population starts to decrease, the snowshoe hare and the bison population both go down.... Connected to the wolves. This is because there isn't enough wolf for the bison and there are so many snowshoe hare, that they start to die because that whatever they eat is not a high enough supply. And so on...

This process is called-You eat me I eat you!!!...Sort of...
