Dopamine

Frank's song made me excited and happy. It gets me pumped up to do something. 
Chase's song made me really bored. The song sounds really girly, I would never picture him listening to it. 
Paul's makes me want to hit someone and it also gives me a headache 

Before the music I counted to ten in 1.91 seconds 
After releasing dopamine I counted to ten in 1.76 seconds

Finally the last terrarium post

My terrarium has not made a lot of progress sense been decided to burn my plants down. I had one little steam growing back till chase just broke it off. I found a weird bug that was alive but is dead now. I can't believe that my terrarium never came out very good. Then when it did chase decided to add a disturbance. I will keep blaming everyone for what they made me do

In class we have to compare are averages to other schools averages. I'm comparing what Champlain college got and what our school got. Champlain college went to potash brook for as my school went to sentenal stream. They went on September just like are class. For them the day was nice and clear when we had to deal with overcast and showers. One part of the stream that we tested was the width, depth and velocity. Champlain had approx. 22.5ft. My group had 3.5ft but as a school we had an avg. number of 1.98ft. As for the depth the college kids 1 foot, my school had a average of 4.15ft. The stream velocity in the potash brook is 1.10 ft/sec. In senteneal the average 38ft/sec. The next thing we tested was pollution tolerance.  There group had only found two types of animals, they ended up finding stonefly nymph and caddies fly larvae. Our school ended up finding caddis fly larvae, crane fly larvae and left-handed snails. Only one more then the other school but pretty different lake animals. Our water rating is a eight which is actually really good meaning that our water isn't really polluted.

My sad terrarium

My terrarium has made no progress sense we desired to light the plants on fire.  I keep watering it but nothing will grow back. I feel as though I should just give up and then maybe something will grow back or maybe I have to put more seeds in my terrarium.
I also had a terrarium that I made at home that ended up dying because chase thought that I should take the top off. So it ended up not getting any water

My terrarium has not made a progress sense we put the disturbances of fire to my plants. It seems as though all the life is dead it will not be growing back anytime. Still try to keep it watered and fresh. I really home that my plants will grow back or this whole project was a wast of time.

I live in a life were I have no time to relaxes... The only time is when I'm in my spot not having to worry about nothing around me and no one at all.

Starting to look like fall

I see leafs all around me.. So many different colors
I hear birds chirping at each other
I feel the freezing cold water on my fingers
I can't really smell much

I see leafs floating down the stream.
I hear the water moving down the stream
I feel the wind blowing so softly thorough my hair

set fire to the rain






I also ended up kicking my terrarium over so we are going to call it a earthquake.
I didn't watch what I was doing

My terrarium

So today in class  two students and me decided that we would set fire to my terrarium. We are going to see what happens when fires start in the woods but with my terrarium.
 I feel as tho that it will help my flowers grow back bigger and thicker.

MY spot two weeks later





In my spot two weeks later

I hear birds chirping in the back ground.
I can't really smell anything but it didn't smell very good anyway.
I feel relaxed sitting in my spot not having to worry about anything for once.
I hear water trickling down the stream.
I smell dirt and dirty water.
I feel leafs rubbing my legs. Making them itch so bad.

my terrarium one week later




One week later

My terrarium has not made a big change. The flowers have grown to 2 to 4 inches long. I'm still waiting for them to flower. There are no living things in my water. Everything has died from lack of water. I was not able to finish putting my water part of my terrarium.

One day we went in to the woods to learn how to identify trees by their leafs. We learned about five different types of trees. The first one was the silver maple. They are smaller then sugar maple leafs and have deeper ridges. The next one was a white pine leaf. They get there name from how many needles they have. Sugar maple was was one of the next ones we found. They are big and have small ridges. Seater was the second tree with needles. They live in dry places. The one we saw was living on a rock. The last leaf we collected was a Ashe leaf. They are one leaf  but five leafs.

I feel the cold water on my feet.
I hear the leafs falling in to the water from the trees above.
I smell moss growing all around, on the trees and rocks.
I hear water trickling down the stream.
I feel the dirt under my feet and the wind blowing through my hair.
I smell the fresh natural air all around me.

My spot in the woods ★ ★



I think that my baby fishy is less then a cm long.
My water temp is 69 degrees.

My terrarium!

There are three different parts of my terrarium. I have a wild flower section. A dessert section and aquarium section. I planted a couple wild flower seeds. Still waiting for them to grow. I have just sand and rocks in my dessert terrarium. Lastly in my aquarium terrarium there is a baby fishy and two back swimmers. I think one them have died for having lack of air. I also have a leach, I'm unsure about it even being alive.

When I was in the woods I saw a frog and baby fish.
I heard birds and water running in the stream.
