Field Notes
We were shocked to see that there was a tree inside the pines leafs. For our location we went outside of our school and went in the wood, beside the nature trail. Also we did not smell any pine outside. We found the tree we were looking for right away.

The pine cone looks like the description says it looks like. It is beaten up more than it is in the picture.

Nice Photos, More detail?

Nice photos. They made the ID confirmation process easy for me! Next time, try to include some more detail in your field notes. Really let me and others know the details of your observation site and how the observation plot makes you feel.

Really great page! The

Really great page! The pictures are really good! The descriptions mention "the paper" a lot. Next time do not mention it, or refer to what paper you looked at. Great pictures and info.

Great Job! Work on detail...

This was very good! But, I think that you could go more into detail about your descriptions of your evidence. Also, you refer to your "paper" a lot and you say that it agrees with it. Next time don't mention it that much. Also, a picture you have is out of focus. Next time just try to have it stay in focus! Overall, this was really good but, the main thing to work on I think, would be detail and some for scientific reasoning. Great Job!

You mentioned the paper a lot in your evidence. Other than that it was really good. It had great pictures. You have really good supporting evidence.

clusters

What a beautiful white pine tree. You've given some really solid photo evidence, Green4! Since we can't see the white pine description that you are talking about in your written evidence statements, it'd be great if you could tell us (in the comments!) about how long the needles were and how many needles were in each cluster. That's really important information for telling white and red pines apart.

Thanks for documenting where you're finding Maine's native species! It's great to have some markers on the map from your town!!
