Detailed Weather:
Wind -

- Beaufort Scale: 3
- North: I confirmed this by bringing a compass and recording the correct direction
Clouds -
- The sky was completely clear. It was a beautiful day with no clouds whatsoever.
- color: NA
- type: NA
Temperature -
- Air: 72° Fahrenheit
- Fahrenheit to Celsius:
C = (72 - 32) x 5/9
C = 40 x 5/9
C = 40/1 x 5/9
C = 200/9
C = 22.22222222222
- 22.2222222° Celsius
- Water: The water was is no longer frozen because the temperatures are getting increasingly warmer. The water temperature was 49° Fahrenheit:
C = 17 x 5/9
C = 17/1 x 5/9
C = 85/9
C = 9.4444444
General Observations:
Measurements -
- Bur oak tree branch - 51
- inches to centimeters conversion -
2.54n = c
2.54(51) = c
c = 129.54
- bur oak tree branch = 129.54 cm
- water depth: 13 inches:
- inches to centimeters conversion -
- water temperature: 9.44444° Celsius
2.54n = c
2.54(13) = c
c = 33.02 cm
Biota -
- 2 bur oak trees
- common white-tailed dragonfly
- American squirrel
Differences from previous months -
- Seasonal changes:
- The temperature is starting to increase, and I went to my ecosystem with no coat.
- The water is back, and measurable.
- my bur oak tree "measuring branch" is growing more quickly because things are beginning to become alive again.
- I saw a squirrel scurry up a tree, the first real animal I've seen even from the beginning of the year.
