Week # 3 - Trees, Environment and Community

3/18/2013

 
For this week, continue to make basic observations of your tree. However also think about how you think your tree might contribute to the environment it's a part of and the human community around it?

Have you observed any changes or something new about your tree since last time?
How is your tree a part of it's surroundings?
What could impact your tree's growth?
How is your tree an important part of the ecosystem?
How does your tree benefit the environment around it (other plants, soil, animals, water, etc.)?
How does your tree benefit the human community around it?
Are there new thoughts you have about your tree based on what we discussed in class?

Comment with your room number as assigned letter.

My tree looks right in it's spot because without it, the curb would look dull. I'm not sure if the tree still turns carbon dioxide into oxygen, but it contributes to the environment by making it presentable. It does not give food or shade or shelter, it just makes the curb look nice.

My tree looks good in it's spot because if it was not there, there would be a blank spot between all trees and it would look empty. It helps with runoff. Also, we impact the trees growth by putting sticks around so it's straight. It also provides oxygen. It makes the community look presentable and beautiful. I now appreciate my tree a little more because of our conversation on Tuesday. It has not changed at all since week #2.

My tree is the same as always.
My tree a part of it's surroundings because it makes the place less empty
Less water could impact my tree's growth.
My tree an important part of the ecosystem because it keeps the soil down.
My tree benefits the environment around it (other plants, soil, animals, water, etc.) because it takes up thre space in the soil.
My tree benefits the human community around it because it gives us kids a place to play on and stand on.
I do't have any other thoughts at the moment.

My tree turns a really dark brown when it rains. My tree's branches are starting to branch out o the side. But they used to stick straight up. Since I see my tree everyday I get to see how it's doing, like if it is healthy.

It is part of the surounding because it provide shade for others. There are no changes. Rain and pesticides could effect growth. I would measure in feet. The tree is important for shade. The tree benifits shade and looking nice. There are no knew thoughts.
