Lab 6 field methods

Part 1 A Qualitative vs. Quantitative, Dimensional Analysis, and Growth

Qualitative –

1)      I see that the plants are the color green.

2)      There is brown dirt. It’s the brown that you see in the dirt after it has rained.

Quantitative –

1)      There are 12 green plants total.

2)      There are 4 planter boxes filled with the brown dirt.

Part 1 B Dimensional analysis

1)      A four-pound bass weighs how many grams?

There are 453.592 grams in a pound.

Equation 4 x 453.592 = 1814.368grams

Part 1 C Linear VS. Exponential Growth

1)      The graph for this question is attached as a photo.

2)      Question 1 – The most profitable is to earn a dollar with a 25% increase each day.

Question 2 – The six dollars a day while earning another six dollars each day at day 6 seamed the most profitable it was well above the pay of the one starting at only a dollar.

Part 2 B Measurements of Biodiversity

11) I choose this sight because it is our families garden.

Part I C

                                    Location                    N level/rating    P level /rating      K level/rating     pH level/rating

Sample A                         garden	N2 adequate	P2 adequate	K3 adequate	7.0 neutral
Sample B                         Lot across the street	N3 sufficient	P2 adequate	K2 adequate	6.5 slight acid

6)A) The nitrogen and phosphorous. They both contain phosphorous and oxygen.

B) We have to have soil to grow crops or anything. That we need to survive.

C) different soil types show the different regions it shows biodiversity because, one soil is in one place.

D) erosion – can carry sediments to new places.

Human interference – add different soils together changing the composition.

Genetically modified – we can engineer different types of soils.
