Field Trip #1




I walked around my neighborhood this afternoon and it was absolutely beautiful! It was a cloudless sky, the sun was shinning bright, and there was a light breeze. As I was wondering around, I noticed how little there was to look at near all of the houses. There were a few flowers and trees that were planted by the home owners, but other than that there really wasn't much too see. Although, I did enjoy the few natural plants and animals when I saw them. My favorite part of the trip was sitting and watching the lake water ripple and crash into the grassy edges. The few questions I wrote down are:

1. How many different types of animals are in the lake and what is the most common?
2. What plants and trees are indigenous to this community?
3. Without the irrigation systems what would my neighborhood look like?
4. As technology increases will the natural environment decrease?
5. Instead of building out, wouldn't it make more sense to build up?
5. Will the lake near my house be there in 50 years?
6. How many people live in the neighborhood and contribute to pollution?
7. Are there plants that are better for the environment than others?
8. Due to the increase of urbanism, have the number of animals decreased? 
9. Will I ever see the otter I saw in the same like 10 years ago again?
10. Why has it become so difficult to see such a beautiful natural landscape?
