Goals for Poster (:

GAME PLAN Focus on Sediment Paramecium Pond: A Man Made System Poster as a Concept Map - each element in the concept map relating to parts of the poster - various points made, data, graphs relating to concept map imagery - concept map like a table of contents for the poster - systems thinking LESS Intro, middle, end MORE flow as a system with many elements considered that can then be considered together Man Made Elements: - Cement in Silver Thread - Potassium in the treated water found in the sediment Cross-Section of 0-100cm Core Sample - maybe graphs analyzing chemical make-up relating to specific layers Concept Map//System Elements: - Watershed Visual (considering the larger system) TEXT: - Text for each graph -- analysis, correlations, conclusions - XRF Analysis - core sample process description, grab sample process description - Watershed - Brief History of the Pond + Physical Elements Today - Captions for Photos (microscope shots) - Future Wo...

Intro

Intro (the spacing got messed up in the last paragraph lemme know if you need me to fix it) Paramecium Pond is a man-made system that has been integrated into its natural surroundings over the course of many decades. Built as an addition to the botanic gardens in 1931, the pond’s purpose is purely aesthetic. The pond is fed by the silver stream, a brook which itself is fed by drinking water pumped through a well. The pond drains through a grate on the southwestern end of the pond to Lake Waban. Paramecium Pond has been dredged twice in its history, due to an excess of deposited sediment--once in 1975 and once in 1995. The current depth of the pond floor ranges from <1 foot to around 5 feet deep. Due to its urban location, the pond is subject to runoff and pollutants from within its ecological system that might not be found in a more natural setting. Heavy metals such as zinc, copper, chromium, manganese, and lead can accumulate at the surface of streets and roofs. These and ot...
