• color: pure white
• type: cirrus

Temperature -

• Air: 62° Fahrenheit
• Fahrenheit to Celsius: 

     

C = (62 - 32) x 5/9

C = 30 x 5/9

C = 30/1 x 5/9

C = 150/9

C = 16.666666666666

• 16.6666666666666° Celsius
• Water:  The water temperature was 47° Fahrenheit:

C = (47-32) x 5/9 

C = 15 x 5/9

C = 15/1 x 5/9

C = 75/9

C = 8.33333333333

General Observations: 

Measurements - 

• Bur oak tree branch - 52 inches
• inches to centimeters conversion - 

2.54n = c

2.54(52) = c

c = 132.08

• bur oak tree branch = 132.08 cm
• water depth: 14.5 inches:
• inches to centimeters conversion - 
2.54n = c
2.54(14.5) = c
c = 35.83 cm
• water temperature: 8.3333333333° Celsius

Biota - 

• 2 bur oak trees
• common white-tailed dragonfly
• common green foxtail
• common virtuoso katydid

Differences from previous months - 

• Seasonal changes: 
• The temperature is actually lower now than it was last time, so the temperatures are sporadic.  
• I am starting to hear sounds, like the sound of the katydid, again.  
• There was still more water from the rain

• Again, I noticed more biota.
