GEOS 101 Research Project ABCE

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...

Here are the google sheets graphs I did a couple of weeks ago, in which I compared the levels in ppm of various elements based on location. If you guys think this information would be useful for our project, we could re-work it with more data, in a way that is easier to read, or in some 3-dimensional way if possible. I find the relationship between zinc and lead here to be particularly interesting! I don't have excel on my computer (yet), but I will try to download it this week. If any of you want to make a copy of this and play around with it, be my guest!

Hi Everyone! Here's a thread where we can discuss when/if we want to meet up to discuss/work on our project outside of lab. Just putting this here for later, to post something on this blog :^)
