To do this, we pulled rocks out of the creek and put them on land. There are three stages of groups, the first group means that the creek is not polluted. The second group means there is some pollution. The third group means that the creek is extremely polluted. For group 1 our group found 59 organisms. For group two, in our study, we found 15 and they were all scoud. In the group 3 we found 27 creatures. This is what we did in station 3 for the creek study field trip.…
Our results found that in Bear Creek there was far less pollution due to the fact that it isn't running parallel to a major city like Cherry Creek is. In the case of Bear Creek the organism found, like caddisflies, have to have high oxygen content which means less pollutants. When looking at Cherry Creek there was an abundance of beetles which live in fast moving clean bodies of water. There were far more bloodworms found in Bear Creek compared to Cherry Creek which could be due to the fact that Bear Creeks soils are healthier. Bear Creek had far less pollution than Cherry Creek which led to more variety of species found living in Bear Creek.…
The only Macro invertebrate we found was one aquatic worm. This results in the creek receiving a poor water quality rating according to the data sheet. The lack of Macro invertebrates shows us that the water really can't support much of any kind of life.…
In this experiment, the question being asked was: “What is the water quality of the U-High stream based on the water invertebrates found?” The purpose of this experiment was to determine the water quality of the U-High creek. The data was obtained by collecting soil, algae, and water from the U-High creek and identifying the number and types of invertebrates that were found from the samples. The prediction made was that the U-High creek’s water quality was poor based on the first observations of beer cans and other litter found near it, but the original hypothesis of the water quality being poor is rejected. There were three types of invertebrates found: pollution sensitive, pollution moderate tolerance, and pollution tolerance. Each of these groups resulted in having six different species found in the U-High creek. The pollution sensitive species included caddisflies, riffle beetles, stoneflies, mayflies, snipe larvae, and water penny larvae. The pollution moderate tolerance species included cranefly larvae, dragonfly…
The water quality of the U-High creek was excellent because it had pollution sensitive micro-invertebrates. However, not all creeks are this way. One example of humans polluting creeks includes farmers’ pesticides and fertilizers that soak through the ground and travel into the water (Lenntech, 1998-2016). These materials hold a lot of phosphorus and nitrogen which causes a surplus of algae. If this occurs, then the water could turn green (causing a low aesthetic value) and also once it breaks down, its’ bacteria will steal away the dissolved oxygen that the fish need to survive. Another example is the runoff of factory waste (Lenntech, 1998-2016). This waste brings toxins that could kill all the organisms and animals that interact with the…
An observational analysis was conducted to observe the effectiveness of warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation after the patients had ischemic strokes. In the article “Real World Effectiveness of Warfarin Among Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation,” 12,552 patients were observed for one year after being admitted to the hospital for acute ischemic stroke and discharged with a diagnosis of persistent or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. These observations were made between January 2009 and December 2011. The patients were divided into two separate groups for comparison during the study: patients taking warfarin and patients not treated with any anticoagulants. Patients that were unable to take anticoagulants were excluded…

I set out to find a place to begin my observations, not knowing what to fully expect, what I may find. So I decided to look around at what is close to my home that isn’t a place I frequent or have even visited at all. Then it came to me, the Starbucks that is only about a mile away is a perfect place for me to observe subjects that I would consider different from myself, seeing as how I consider such obscene prices for coffee ridiculous. Starbucks is a very popular chain of coffee vendors that describe their product as more about quality than what Americans are used to in typical coffee joints.…
The court case I observed was the 2008 2L Moot Court Tournament at the Liberty University School of Law, Deborah White vs. Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern. The purpose of this court case was to determine whether or not it should be taken into a motion of summary judgement. The plaintiff in the case was Deborah White. White was represented by Amanda Babbitt and Jackson Walsh. The defendants in this case are Patrick Gibbs; and O’Malley’s Tavern. The representatives of the defendants were Benjamin Walton and Jordan Van Meter. Before summarizing the arguments of the plaintiff and the defendant, there will be a short summarization of the incident.…
According to the text, descriptive research is defined as a type of method in which a researcher or public official closely observes someone. With the data collected, they can then describe what is being observed without interrupting how the person is behaving. In relation to the topic of school shootings, the researcher would have to take into consideration many different aspects. The time frame leading up to the crime and after is a very crucial point in the case. The researcher would have to find out the intent behind why the person decided to commit the crime. Also, did the individual have any serious mental health issues, family problems, a victim of bullying, or any type of discrimination.…
To acquire these 10 photos that I observed, I started out asking friends. However, I did this in a methodical process. I would ask them in a raised voice in places like my large lectures, or population dense classes like chapel. So while I would get the picture of my friend’s tattoo, I would also have one or two other people who were sitting in proximity to me overhear my “private” conversation and allow me to take pictures of their tattoos as well. Throughout my pictures, I received a gender distribution of 60% females and 40% males. While this is slightly skewed from a 50/50 split, it is reflective of the Baylor gender ratio. I also have a pretty equal balance of majors; there is not a major that overly represented within my pictures, they…
Doing an observation of someone you kind of have this idea in the back of your head of what kind of job he has. I realized that the image you have in your mind really is just what the everyday person sees. While I observed Keith Lytle I figured I would just see the same normal stuff that I see all the time when on the baseball field. I was wrong in so many ways. Keith not only has to break down the swings of the hitters on the team and put them through drills so make sure their swing is where it needs to be; he also works with the position players as well on the fielding aspects on the game. Once he was done with the practice side of things, Keith went into his office and started making some phone calls to see if there were any kids who were on his list who were interested in attending the program for next season. After the phone calls had been made he went outside to what we on the team would call his second car. He started up the lawn mower and began mowing the field, which he does every single day.…
