My name is “Celtics6789” and I am in the 6th gradeat Amigos School.I am doing this WIKI for my science class.Our grade has gone on many field trips to different ecosystems. My ecosystem is the Charles River. On this field trip, we observed the biotic and abiotic things of the ecosystem. We also drew and collected samples of what we encountered. I also made a ecosystem web and an energy pyramid of the ecosystem to show all the biotic life and abiotic things in the area. We visited the Charles River twice. Each time was so fun! <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -1in; margin-right: -63pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -1in;

We walked from our school to the partially endangered ecosystem. The river had rocks, dirt, sand, water, and of course, sun. We tested all the abiotic information on the water. The pH was 8, which is around where you want it to be. The turbidity, which is the clarity of the water, was 40 JTU. The Dissolved Oxygen was 2 ppm. The water temperature was 15º C. The air temperature was 60º F. The area was very polluted, since its right next to a busy street. Also, there are many boats, and before, many people were allowed to dump trash there, and some people still do. To figure out all this information we had to use pH sticks, thermometers, buckets, and dissolvable pills. We got the tools from the World Wide Monitoring Day. The information was hard to get, but the results explained a lot.

=Biotic= When our grade traveled to the Charles River,we found a lot of biotic life. We found fish, spiders, and cormorants. The fish swam around where there were less people and more plants. They were pretty small but big enough to eat. The spider that we found had made a huge web. The spider was yellow and black. The cormorant is a type a bird that is a tertiary consumer. It hides underground then pops up to consume its prey. I found buttercups, sunflowers, and grass. The buttercups and the sunflowers were yellow and had a great smell. They were both covered with bees. The grass was green and short. There was so much of it. I also saw lichen, worms, and centipedes. The worms and centipedes crawl around and decompose dead matter and recycle the earth.Lichen is a plant that grows on dead things to help decompose the earth <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -1in; margin-right: -63pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center; text-indent: 67.5pt;">. <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -1in; margin-right: -63pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -1in; margin-right: -63pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -1in; margin-right: -63pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -1in; margin-right: -63pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -1in; margin-right: -63pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">

I found a dead fish that was clearly dead from pollution. I tested all the water and air tests, which told us more about the river. I also learned that although humans have changed the river for the worst, it still works because of the sun and any other biotic organism in this incredible ecosystem. This ecosystem is hurt badly, but it’s not over, the Charles River is home to thousands of consumers and producers, so help keep it clean.
