We are happy because we are outside on a sunny, beautiful and warm afternoon. We hear the motors of cars and the laughter of classmates along with water moving down the stream. We smell gas from a car and the water from the stream. We see cars rush by the school and people running around along with the plant in the stream waving back and fourth in the fall breeze. Problems and questions we ran into was the stream because the milkweed was in the middle of the stream, also another problem we ran into was finding the plant.

It looks like bamboo, because it is a type of bamboo. Its leaves are like ovals, and the stem is long, and thin. It can be cut down easily put it grows quick. It is near a pond, and it is tall.
Our team searched for Picea mariana, commonly known as Black Spruce, in a field outside of our school. There are many similar characteristics. We believe that we have found this species.
My plant the Lurid Sedge has needle leaves and it is perennial. Why it is perennial because it has seeds growing inside my plant. The color of my plant is greenish in the spring, summer. In the winter and fall it is brownish and it has needle shaped leaves.
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.
