  2. Abstract Environmental science- “the branch of biology concerned with the relations between organisms and their environment” (Farlex, 2011). Study areas Keeping track of changes Changes over time How the environment changes
  3. Objectives 1. Learn the environment that we live in 2. Learn to Identify, observe and research 3. Study how it works 4. Learn how to present findings
  4. Objectives Cont. 5. Comparing data 6. Use correct methods to cite others work.
  5. Introduction(prior knowledge) Tree identification Animal identification Bird identification Water sheds (One in the study area) Martin, 2011
  6. Ecological census techniques Point count- count Belt transect- blocks of area Line transect- straight lines Quadrant transect- random locations
  7. Map used Topographical map Many features Elevation Helps make predictions Onboard Informatics, 2011
  8. Study area New Boston, New Hampshire
  9. Procedure Date/time Location Weather Type of landscape Who was there New species list Observations on what was observed Backcountry, 2011
  10. Results: Chipmunk Hibernated for a period of time Some got up first Very active animals Martin, 2011
  11. Results: White tailed deer Came and went often Winter food? Bush’s were eaten Sirota, 2011
  12. Results, Stream Changing in levels Transforming environment New species in the area
  13. Results: Leaves (Seasons) Made work easy and harder Indicator to animals Landscape changes dramatically
  14. Conclusion: Chipmunks Table 1: Chipmunk presence and observations Hibernation, not really Where food is kept Who wakes up first Connection to graph
  15. Conclusion: Stream Table 3: Stream presence and Observations Run off in the fall Spring floods Changed the environment Made new species move it
  16. Conclusion: Deer Table 4: Deer presence and Observations Dog wood bush Research on it Acorns?
  17. Conclusion: Seasons Hibernation Changing of the environment Changing the diets of animals
  18. Challenges Animals ability to blend in Tree cover Scattering of animals (Chipmunk)
  19. What was learned Saw the environment as a system Learned valuable field skills Identification of organisms Value the environment
