Lab #3

The members who collected this data together were Adilah Ismail, Harshvir Hehar, Amrutha Balamurugan and Olivia Kazmierczak. The study sight was a grass land on campus with great sunlight and few clouds. The area had a couple of threes that were avoided to make sure direct sunlight was used for the data. The other area was a woodlot with many trees which caused lots of shade in the experimental area. To completely collect all the data for this experiment the group took approxamitly an hour and a half to set up the experiment, wait and collect data. The experiement was done by placing 9 bowels in both a grassland and 9 in a woodlot. Those bowels in the grassland were placed along a 13.5 meter transat and the bowels in the woodlot were placed along a 15 meter transat. The bowels were filled 1/4 with soapy water and left for one hour and fifteen minutes. After each bowel was seperately observed to view what organisms fell into the bowel, what type of organisms and how many of each type. This experiment was used to deterimine the differnet types of organisms that can be found in both areas of research and how they differ from one another.
