Visit #5 to our BioCube (3/19/2021)

We deployed our boardwalk to the BioCube today! Once we got it in place, we discovered some weak spots, so we did some troubleshooting in the field. The decision was made to flip the boardwalk UPSIDE DOWN for maximum support!

1st Period's Research Question: What evidence of a food chain can we find in our BioCube?
Data/Observations:
"we found water and a tree stump"
"Animal tracks, animal droppings, broken sticks, broken fence."

2nd Period's Research Question: What evidence of living things can we find in our BioCube?
Data/Observations:
"There was a germinating seed in the biocube"
"sprouting seeds, worms in mud"
"I think the Bio-Cube has a lot of stems and plants around it."
"There were bite marks in some of the leaves which may be from bugs, bird sounds, and we saw a robin!"
"I saw that everytime we go out things keep changing like the tree trunk stump is getting deeper and the ground is more moist"

3rd Period's Research Question: What species of insects can we identify in our BioCube?
Data/Observations:
"We found a seed in the bio-cube but I did not see any insects"
"None I don't know if birds already had their feast today morning but I did not see any insects."
"It was really cold and muddy. The bars on the biocube box moved because of the environment changing."
"i wonder what seed that was"

5th Period's Research Question: What living things can we identify in our BioCube in different seasons?
Data/Observations:
"we can find mud in the spring we can find mud in the winter and bugs and birds and flowers and trees and dried grass"
"In winter going into Spring we might hear more Killdeer and other birds."
"There was a mom bird letting us know that she was at her nest"
"This observation is the last winter observation for the year. It was extremely muddy around the cube this time and it was very cold (36)."
