=Black's Nook Pond=

== My name is Wallface and I go to the [|Amigos School]in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I am in the 6th grade. I am doing this wiki for people around the world to know what we are learning from our field trips. One of the places we were[| Black’s Nook pond] in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Here we learned about a pond ecosystem, the animals and plants that live there. ==

== We went to the Black’s Nook pond. We got there by the bus. It was a very suny day. There were many abiotic things at Black’s Nook pond including H20, sunlight, 02, Co2 and soil, rocks and pollution. The color of the rocks were gray and some black. The pollution included things like trash on the ground and fumes from the cars going by on the road. ==

== The tools that I used to measure the abiotic things in the pond were: pH paper to measure the acidity of the pone, a black and white disc to measure the turbidity or how clear the pond water was, a thermometer to measure the water and air temperature. We also used a plankton net to catch plankton, which are consumers and producers in the pond. ==

== I am doing the wiki about the pond. All of the producer’s wee flower, smartweed and trees. The primary consumers were Willy caterpilar, Bees, plankton and may flower. The secondary consumers were butterfly, fish and plankton. The tertiary consumers are birds, plankton, and turtles. Finaly the decomposers are vactaria, mold, worms and fungi. The energy pyramid is a triangle with sections that shows the flow of energy. All biotic organisms are organized on the triangle from decomposer, to producers to primary consumer, secondary consumer and finally tertiary consumer. The decomposer are at the base of the triangle ==

== I am doing the pond Black’s Nook. One thing I learned is about a catapilar that was called Willy catapilar. It had about one hundred legs that were small, for example the point of a pencil. Another thing that I learned is about the pond, it had a lot of mold growing from the soil below the water. One more thing I learned is that the water can be told how cold or hot the water is by putting a paper with colors on it and changes to a diffrente color. I like was that we got to do a lot of activites. To keep the ecosystem healthy there has to be rain and living insects. Now people from around the world know what we are doing for our field trips. ==
