...using different set-ups that shows different number of organisms. Water from river, which is cultured for days exposed to sunlight, showed large number of microorganisms. Another set-up, the uncultured rain sample stocked on plants showed only small number. The 3rd set-up which is cultured water placed in dark place showed a larger number of organisms than the other two set-ups. Putting a sample in the cotton strand makes the organisms immobilized. Dropping salt solution, organisms moves away but dropping sugar solution makes the organisms move toward the solution. An organism is any contiguous living system (such as animal, fungus, micro-organism, or plant). In at least some form, all types of organisms are capable of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development, and maintenance of homeostasis as a stable whole. An organism may either be unicellular (a single cell) or, as in the case of humans, comprise many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. The term multicellular (many cells) describes any organism made up of more than one cell. In this experiment, a microscope is a vital tool in seeing these organisms. Before we do the actual laboratory, we were supposed to prepare a hay infusion. To prepare a hay infusion, we need to get water, either in ponds, streams, or lakes, any natural water will do, but not tap water because it is already chlorinated to remove microbes and in inhibiting...

...Hypothesis I will investigate whether the concentration of oxygen in pond water will affect the abundance of Phantom Midge Larvae (Genus Chaoborus) by comparing a pond that has a higher oxygen concentration with a pond that has a lower oxygen concentration. Alternative Hypothesis: The lower the oxygen concentration, the higher the abundance of Phantom Midge Larvae. Null Hypothesis: There will be no significant difference between the oxygen concentration and the abundance of Phantom Midge Larvae. Any difference is due to chance. Research The Phantom Midge Larvae (Genus Chaoborus) A phantom Midge Larvae (Genus Chaoborus) otherwise known as a ‘glassworm’ due to its transparent appearance is a form of Midge Larva which are very abundant in static water such as ponds and lakes. The body is in distinct segments with small hairs and the last segment has a number of stiff hairs which acts as a rudder. They breathe through the end of their abdomen and have two small eyes on the front of their body. They can survive is polluted waters with little oxygen. Unlike other air filled invertebrates, the Phantom Midge Larvae has two visible black air sacs either side of their body which allows them to migrate up and down in static water. They can be found in waters as deep as 70m where there is little oxygen and they are able to avoid predators which are found in shallower waters. Phantom Midge Larvae are consumed by other aquatic predators such as puffers, young cichlids and bumblebee...

...In Mary Lawson’s novel Crow Lake the ponds become an important part of the plot. The pond symbolizes Kate’s childhood, the bond between Kate and Matt, and Kate’s future choice in her career. Kate’s memories of her time at the pond connect her to various events and important moments in her life. While talking about the pond, Kate mentioned “There is no image of my childhood that I carry with me more clearly than” Matt and her younger self lying on their stomachs at the edge of a pond (4). Kate stated how important their trips became to her. At the end of the novel, when Kate and Matt take Daniel to the pond, Kate had a realization. She said “The other ponds, our pond included, are just as they have always been.” (291). After many years of thinking that her brother was a failure, that Marie Pye getting pregnant ruined his chances of going to school and becoming someone with an education. Kate comes to the conclusion that she was the one who grew apart and chose to deny that everything was there just as they have always been. It is not the ponds that changed, it was Kate herself. The pond also became the bond that linked both Kate and Matt. Kate reminisced that when Matt first began to take her to the pond she was so small she had to be carried on Matt’s shoulders. Kate loved spending time with her brother; she liked that she came to known the creatures above and below the water. They spent endless hours there as the...

...to his anger of not being heard or even acknowledged for his history in the America’s. Sherman Alexie is a Spokane Coeur d’Alene Indian and he now writes everything from the point of view from his heritage. I read the poem first and then read the brief biography of the author. I found that after reading the biography, I had a much better understanding and more clear and concise grasp of where the author was coming from when he wrote. In analyzing this poem, it seemed that Sherman Alexie was very angry with the white man. He expresses this throughout the poem, but shows the woman who speaks of Walden Pond respect. Sherman appears to only show her respect and continued to listen to the woman described in his words close to the end of the poem, because of her age, he states very pointedly that “I respect elders of every color” indicating to me the woman who was speaking of Walden Pond to him was in fact an elder. Though he was respectful to her, he shared his frustration and ill feelings in many different ways from beginning to end. In the second stanza he states that he “learned little more about American history” during his few days back east but really it seemed as though he could care less in knowing more. He expresses that everyone “should all know of the tribal stories architecture is 15,000 years older than the corners of the house that sits”. As the woman continues to speak, he sits apparently in silence, absorbing her words and lets her continue on with her pride in the...

...Daynah Clements Mr. Bergeron Portable #3 Wednesday, May 6th, 2015 Walden Walden was written in first person about the events and ideas that came to Thoreau during his time living at Walden Pond in the eighteen hundreds. Walden is based on Thoreau’s journey at Walden Pond which was a sixty-two acre body of water a few miles from his parents' home in Concord, Massachusetts. He decided to build a cabin and live at Walden Pond for 2 years so he could show people that they only truly need 4 things in life which are food, shelter, clothing and fuel. He officially started this expedition in late March 1845 and left the Pond on September 6th 1847. Thoreau focused on many different themes, including the relationship between light and dark, the ideas and importance of nature, the meaning of progress, the importance of detail, and the relationship between the mind and body. While being at Walden Thoreau developed many philosophical ideas concerning knowing yourself, living simply and deliberately, and seeking truth. He was a poet and a philosopher who lived a life of simplicity in order to make a direct connection between people, God, and nature. I could adapt to Thoreau’s philosophy to an extent. There are somethings I like about his novel Walden like; not wanting to go with society, being your own person, finding yourself, living life to its fullest, seeing that everything is a want not a need etc… I wondered throughout the whole book if he left and at the end I got my answer...

...Walden Pond. Among his many descriptions, Thoreau devotes a large portion of his writing to recreating Walden Pond in the reader’s mind, partly to create the setting for his story, but also because he felt genuine awe and love for his surroundings, and he wished to convey that love to others. Chapter nine of “Walden” is aptly titled, “The Ponds,” and in this chapter, Thoreau describes not only Walden Pond, but also some of the other ponds that are in the area where he lived for more than two years. He writes extensively about “the ribbed bottom [of the pond], which was strewn with the wrecks of the forest” (Thoreau, 1899), and waxes poetic about the mysterious depths of Walden Pond. One of the aspects of Walden Pond that he strives to impress on the reader is the sheer depth of the water. Throughout the chapter, and in later chapters as well, he describes a seemingly bottomless lake that is nearly mystical in its appearance. Later in the book, Thoreau reveals how deep the lake actually is, according to his calculations, but in Chapter 9, he does not go into the reality. Instead, he paints a picture of a magical place that has no beginning and no end. This is effective because it reminds the reader of the greatness of the earth compared to the feebleness of man. This comparison furthers illustrates Thoreau’s belief in the divinity of nature, a cornerstone of the transcendentalism movement. In another part of “Walden,” Thoreau describes the color of Walden Pond: “It...

...five. I was quite playful and active child of the age of mine. As simple minded as a child, I never heed to advices and ban the elders used to cry at. Of course being a child of no experience made me curious and persistent to do things as the grown-ups did. Never did I thought of dangers posed in every action and move I take. One day, I woke up to my usual Saturday morning and had the breakfast my mom prepared. She asked me to follow her to her workplace, a primary school which I agreed. There, my mom let me play with the staff’s children so we wouldn’t disturb them at work. But my mom reminded not to go too near the fish pond in the science garden. Lately, some reports were made that student got stung by bees near the fish pond. The beehives was believed to be at the rock pile of bricks. It was normal for my fellow friends and I to play near the fish pond. That place was shady and cool. We played hide-and-seek game. I hid behind the rock pile of bricks and accidentally toppled the unstable structure. The beehives was destroyed at once and the bees were furious. They swarmed over me and stung me. I was lucky as I wore long-sleeved shirt but my bare foot became the target. My friends and I run to safety, but the stings was so much that I cried in pain. A staff helped to send me for medical treatment in the town. I expected my mom to scold me for being ignorant but she soothed me to stop crying and eased my pain. After medical treatment, we thanked that kind staff for her generousity...

...Walden Summary In his first chapter, "Economy," Thoreau introduces his purpose in writing the book, saying he intends to answer questions people have asked about his reasons for living alone in a cabin in the woods near Walden Pond for two years. He explains that most people live their lives as if sleeping, blindly following the ways of their parents, and become trapped into these lives by owning property and slaving in jobs to maintain their way of life. In contrast, he sought to discover the true necessities of life and built a cabin, for the cost of $28. 12 _ near Walden Pond, where he lived for two years, beginning in the summer of 1845. Making a profit of $8.71 _ by selling the beans he grew and working occasionally at odd jobs, he found he was able to support himself with very little work and much time for contemplation of himself and nature. Thoreau, in the second chapter, "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For," talks about how he once considered buying the Hollowell farm for himself but the purchase fell through. Instead, he created a new existence for himself at Walden, where he found joy and fulfillment in nature, truly awakening in his mornings there, while most of society remains perpetually asleep, living mean lives when the possibility of a much better life is possible. The key to achieving such a life, he says, is simplicity. In the third chapter, "Reading," Thoreau describes how he derives enlightenment from reading Homer and other great writers, men who spoke...

...Reading the excerpt from Walden helped me appreciate life as it is. The novel Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, is a day to day account of his experiences at Walden Pond. Thoreau focused on the idea of a simple life and encouraged his readers to simplify their lives as he stated, “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.” It may have been easier to live by his theory of a simple life in the 1800’s as opposed to today because of the latest advancements in technology. The American population has become very dependent on the luxuries of life (such as the computer, the car, the cell phone, etc.) that it would be more difficult to live and function without them. Thanks to the media and advertising, there is a constant race between people to obtain the latest technology or even fashion apparel. For example; about a three weeks ago, a pair of Jordan sneakers, the Concords, were released in stores. Almost every teenager in America battled to buy these sneakers. It got way out of hand, to the point where a group of boys stabbed a young man just to steal his sneakers. Thoreau’s idea of living a simple life should be taken more into consideration these days. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The general public is more materialistic these days than ever and it would be very difficult to break them out of this habit. Thoreau...

...Named three months after his birth, Henry David Thoreau was an accomplished author who lived from 1817 to 1862. A major writer in the Transcendentalist movement, Thoreau penned several poems, essays, and other works including “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience” and Walden. Thoreau harboured an affinity for life, having lived a full one himself; penned works discussing the importance of life; and produced literary pieces that arguably are some of the most influential and exploratory of his time. David Henry Thoreau was born on July 12th, 1817 and named after his late paternal uncle three months later on the 12th of October. Thoreau was the third child of John Thoreau and Cynthia Dunbar, younger brother to Helen and John Jr, and older brother...

...In this chapter Thoreau discusses how he prepares for the upcoming winter and freezing winter. To make his house more comfortable he shifts his ideals by plastering the walls, and learning to admire the convenience of plastering walls. Thoreau prefers the look of his house before he makes it more suitable to winter weather, but he shows he changed ideals when he admits that his house is more livable. The reader learns this when he says, “My house never pleased my eye so much after it was plastered, though I was obliged to confess that it was more comfortable”(Thoreau 120). The plastering of the house also shows a change in ideas because as the reader is aware, Thoreau aims to connect with nature, but by fixing his house he is ruining the natural...

...Maiah Chambers 25 January 2015 American Philosophy Reading Summary "Walking” by Henry Thoreau Henry David Thoreau’s “Walking” was written around the 1850s and published in 1862, the essay discusses the importance of the connection to nature. Henry Thoreau starts his essay with the sentence "I wish to speak a word for nature, for absolute Freedom and Wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and Culture merely civil, — to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. I feel that this sentence sets the tone for the whole essay. Throughout this essay Thoreau talks of a man the leaves civilization and becomes one with nature. He sates the he has only met a few people that know the true meaning of walking. He believe that the people around he are too tied into society to pursue their connection to nature. Before going for the walk the person has to end all connection to society. He writes that "If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends and never see them again; if you have paid your debts, and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man; then you are ready for a walk." I take from this quote is this walk is like the walk of death. Thoreau's surroundings offers the possibility of good walks, which he is able to connect to nature without getting exhausted. He talks about his new outlook on life. He compares the different outlook...

...After reading an excerpt from David Thoreau’s book Walden and an essay by Danny Heitman about how Thoreau might think about modern information technology, I think that Heitman’s claim about how Thoreau’s ideas and technology can co exist is accurate. Thoreau was the type of person who wanted to live a deep marrow life; He longed for simplicity. He did not want to “live with such a hurry and waste life” (Thoreau par. 4). Although he was a naturalist, it really helped him in ways he did not even realize, such as the railroads getting him back and forth to the libraries. Allowing him to gain access to a wealth of learning. Thoreau didn’t like the idea of technology rapidly growing due to him being a naturalist. When he said, “we are determined...
