Jackson Springs

The trip to the park was rather exciting. We got to walk around and see everything that the park had and got to take a look at some of the different rocks. It was a good trip and seeing the Ocmulgee River was not bad.

Life Tables

I guess making these life tables are a good idea for research purposes. This would be good if your trying to figure out how a certain things like drug use will effect the life expectancy of a person. It could help in warning people about the health risks and things like that. Then again people might take it to seriously and not believe that they can live past a certain age because of the table. It had its benefits though. 

Dog Park

The dog park was unique since I had never been to one and really did not know that Macon had a dog park. It might be a good idea for those people who have dogs and need a place to bring the dog and get some fresh air. But it might not be so good since there are always health risks. It would be a lot easier for the dogs to transmit diseases to each other at a dog park and the creek that runs through the park might not be so sanitary and healthy for the dogs to playing in. This could also effect the people. But if it was kept clean and healthy then I don't think a dog park is a bad idea to have in a neighborhood.

Hitchiti Experimental Forest

It was a very interesting trip. I had no idea that they experimented on forests but I think it is a good idea. This way we can learn about how we effect the forests and maybe how we can help conserve different plants and wildlife. Like the unique tree that we saw called the sassafras.

12 types of soil

After doing some research i found that there were 12 different types of soil. They are Alfisols, Aridisols, Entisols, Histosols, Inceptisols, Mollisols, Oxisols, Spodosols, Ultisols, Gelisols, Andisols, and Vertisols. All the different types have different colors and textures and vary in different ways. 

My Tomato Plant

My tomato plant was growing good. I would put it in the sun and give it some water whenever I remembered. It grew pretty fast after it first came out.

After a while I got really busy and some things came up so I didn't water it enough and it died.

Blood Sugar

Insulin is released when blood sugar level increases. Then it moves sugar from the blood into the muscles and fat cells for storage.
