Biology Prairie Project

backround:

methods:We used grafts and charts to collect our data. We made sure to create a website that is easy to get the information. We collected soil and looked at all the insects on the soil dead or alive. we made multiple holes and looked at the soil.

data: Day one of the experiment, we dug a total 3 holes in the D corners of the plots 6, 12, and 18. Each hole was exactly 3 full scoops.  After the scooping, we put each one in a bin separately to be counted. We look through the dirt/ soil in the bin and look for bugs(Roly Polys). The next day, we repeated the same process but it was the A corner instead of the D corner. We did have extra time at the end of day 2 so we dug for more data at the C Corners of the 3 plots. At the end we tallied up the totals for each plot. 

conclusion: My group's question: Which type of plot can sustain the most animal/pill bugs life? Answer was pl0t twelve bc plots six and eighteen had 1 pill bug and plot twelve had 2 pill bugs. There was some error. The fact that it was late October and was cold outside,  could have affected our experiment. It would have been better if we did in in like january to match because we could have found more pillbugs. Our group could have also dug a home in the very middle but we didn't have enough time
