Meadow+Ecosystem!!!

= Meadow Ecosystem =

Hi, I’m esme-strawberrygirl and I go o the[| Amigos school]. I’m doing this Wiki for people to now the type of life we have in this wonderful planet and how we might be affecting it. My topic is the Meadow ecosystem, and there even might be one close to where you live and might not even now. There are lots of producers and even carnivores too.So keep on reading to find out more...if you dare!!! We went to [|Deer Island, Massachusetts]. We all got into a bus that soon was filled with over exited kids playing hand games or just talking. It was a bumpy and long drive until we finally got there, but when we got out there was a strong wind coming from the Tide pool. After we visited the Tide pool and ate our lunch we were headed to “The Meadow”. We all got into search groups and got our materials, there were books, hand lenses, thermometers for the ground and pencils and pages to fill out the information that we had found. Again as you all how are reading this is about the meadow. The Meadow is actually a smoothing and tranquil place, where you hear all type of animal and you smell very odd smells that are actually coming from the pretty flowers. There were three producers that are very pretty to me there is the Verbena Stricta, which is tall and has a purple flower at the top. Then there is the Golden Rod that is small and has yellow flower buds and lots of branches in one. Lastly is the Common milkweed, which is very tall with leaves at the sides and white or any type of colored ballish flower. Now I’m going to name three of my favorite consumes, there is the Ladybug that’s small and sometimes has red wings with black spot and six legs it is also an Omnivore. The Praying mantis is a greenish brown insect that almost looks like a cricket but bigger, it is a… CARNIVORE! Lastly is a Banded Wolly Bear, did you now that this strange looking caterpillar turn into a moth, it also rolls up in a ball for protection and lives separately (away from the others, even his family). Three decomposers at the meadow are worms, moss, and bracket fungus, they all break down the plants that are dying or already dead. As you already know this wiki was about the meadow. At this wonderful experience, I learned so much about the life there. The temperature there is no lower then 40ºF and o higher then 85ºF, also plants and bushes provide protection for small animals so that they do not get eaten. Lastly some animals are poisons from their fur or skin like butterflies or cterpillars (worms). This is the end of this meadow review and I hope all who have read this have learned and remember to recycle, and always throw your trash away to keep the environment clean. BYE-BYE!!!
