Limpets
Today, we all traipsed down the rocks of Schoodic Bay in search of aquatic life. Adam had previously set traps out the night before in hopes of catching something other than mollusks, which is what we ended up finding. The majority of mollusks that we found were snails; we were also fortunate enough to encounter a limpet.
MMS Plants identification
the plant i found i pretty sure is meadowsweet it wasn't on Vital Signs because it's not native
Narrow-leaved cattail
• Family: Cattail (Typhaceae) • Habitat: marshes, especially brackish marshes • Height: 3-6 feet • Flower size: tiny flowers in a cylindrical head around 1/2 inch across • Flower color: brown • Flowering time: May to July • Origin: native
Memorial rose (Rosa wichuraiana)
My goal was to find and identify any invasive plant in my yard, and I chose memorial rose. This plant was not yet on Vital Signs, so I had to submit as a project.
Independent study
In my science class, we are doing independent studies at our own homes, instead of at school. We were asked to try and find a invasive species, and research and identify it on our own time. I'm pretty sure that I found Purple Loosestrife next to my road.
Beech
I didn't find my plant/tree on the on the other submission so I have to do it this way. We had to do a project about plants/trees.
6sb4's finding of the plant Pitch Pine
We went outside to identify and find most or all of the plants on Massabesic Middle school campus.And what we did was we had sessions on each class that we would go outside and then find a plant and then we would identify it take a sample to get a closer look but when we did so our science teacher Mr.P had set this whole thing up .Our quadrats our area he supplied it all.Anyways when I went outside I chose I pine tree and I soon later found out it was Pitch Pine.And I have came to a conclusion that is IS Pitch Pine
Hemerocallis—Daylily
We have done a study at Massabesic Middle School, in which we were assigned quadrats, and asked to pick out a plant from our quadrat and identify it, then submit our findings to Vital Signs. I have identified my plant, but I found that the species of my plant (Daylily) was not on a species card, so I thought that it would be appropriate to submit my findings this way.
Running Clubmoss
Our class goal is to identify every plant on campus. To do this, we will have to go outside more than once and choose plants that haven't been identified yet. The plant that I decided to identify, which I think is Running Club Moss, was not on Vital Signs, so I had to submit it as a project.
