Meadow+Ecosystem

Hi, my name is “BDC617 from Amigos School. I am doing this Wiki because I want people to know about the meadow. The meadow we went to was on Deer Island.[|Deer Island] used to be an island but now is a peninsula and is located in [|Boston] Harbor. I went to Deer Island to learn more about the meadow. We went to Deer Island. We got there by school bus. There were a lot of rocks, soil, and a little road. I examined caterpillars, wollyberars, grasshoppers, and butterflies. I used an eyelens to see how they moved and how they looked.

I think it was extremely windy, because some caterpillars where in the air, because the wind pushed them around. The air temperature was 78 degrees F. The soil temperature was 68 F. The time was 12-1:00 pm. There was dragonflies, caterpillars, beetles, hawks, praying mantis, and butterflies they were beautiful they were oranges with black lines and dots. There were golden rods, chicory, newyorkaster, trees, and grass a fresh green grass. There were fungus, mold, bacteria, and earthworms. It was kind of nasty to see them around the mud. It was like a pool party in the mud.

In the meadow I learned that is very difficult to live in an ecosystem like Deer Island. I examined consumers like caterpillars and a praying mantis. I learned that the hawks are the top of the pyramid in the meadow in Deer Island. I had to look around to see if I could find a consumer, producer, or a decomposer. I think it was very fun and interesting to learn more about the meadow that I already knew alrea
