Tsawwassen, British Columbia

 

My name is Yasmin. I am 6, and I homeschool. I live in Canada in Tsawwassen, British Columbia. We went to the pond on April 3. The pond was at Diefenbaker Park, which is in Tsawwassen. It was very cold, and it also rained a little bit.

This is my hypothesis: I think that every place where people do the experiment will have different animals in the ponds.

We took 3 samples:

 

1.  Where the water meets the edge of the pond.

2.  Where the air meets the surface of the water.

3.  My mother scraped the bucket against the bottom of the pond and picked up dirt, leaves and water.

 

Results:

 

1.  Nothing

2.  Nothing

3.  1 red midge larva

Sample 1 and 2 also had a few unidentifiable creatures. They were little things that looked like black dots that swam around but weren’t dirt. There was only 2 or 3 in each sample. They were too small to see any detail on their bodies.
