On
the 7th of March we were at the Nature Reserve of our school (UWC).
We were going to observe things/organisms as the upcoming professional
scientists but in sort of a race.
By
doing the Nature Reserve race I learnt that many different organisms can live
in a single environment without any harm. I learnt on how to differentiate
between shrubs and grasses and also how some certain trees/plants compete in
terms of growing. I learnt a lot of things about plants and animals on how they
interact with each other. I got knowledge on how to name different trees with
their scientific names.
Firstly
I enjoyed just being in the nature reserve observing things like a professional
scientists of which was very interesting. I enjoyed being able to detect that
animals live there, by the evidence we got of footprints, shells and other
things that showed animal life. I also enjoyed where we had to observe
different kinds of bird species and the different sounds they make. It was very
interesting to do these observations if the form of a race. I did not like the
fact that the things we had to observe were not that many and most were plants.
I feel that if we had to observe more things on animals that would have made
the practical to be more interesting.
