Lake

Lake Loch Ness I would have to say is one lake I would love to see and one of my favorites. It is beautiful and supposedly where the Loch Ness monster lives. It is also in Great Britain which is one of my favorite places. 


This lake has largest volume of fresh water in Great Britain. 



Jackson Springs

When we went to the park we went down to a creek bed and we looked at different types of rocks that could be found there.

Indian Mounds

It was interesting to learn how they used the waterways as the main source of transportation and trading. During the trip we also got to look around at the forest and the different effects of decomposition. 


I found this really cool website that gives a really cool history of the mounds.

Soils Lab

There are 12 different types of soil. I made a list of them. I found that in Saudi Arabia we mainly have Aridisols which is not surprising. 

Gelisols
Histosols
Spondosols
Andisols
Oxisols
Vertisols
Aridisols
Ultisols
Mollisols
Alfisols
Inceptisols
Entisols

  

Ocmulgee Lab


 It was an interesting trip and good to know a little bit about the history of the Native Americans. The mounds were pretty amazing, especially the one the one where we got to go inside and it had the room.

The mounds were built for several purposes and a lot of artifacts have been found and dug up from the mounds. It is a great piece of history.

Tomato Plant

The tomato plant seemed hopeless in the beginning... it took it almost a week to poke out of the soil.



I gave it water like every other day and it was doing great but I forgot it outside one day when it stormed real bad. It didnt recover after that.

Blood Sugar

Dr. Rood tested his blood sugar before and after eating snickers and drinking a sprite. After that, he measured his blood sugar every 5 minutes. What happened was that his blood sugar increased after the amount of sweets he ate. However, after a while the blood

 sugar returned to its stable level.
