https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn Post at least 4 possible natural objects and/or man-made objects in nature that might work for your Observation Report. These posts may be in text form or, if you'd like, you may upload a picture of the objects you're considering. With each object, give a brief explanation about your scientific interest. In other words, what would you like to learn about the object? It's vital for this assignment that you think of this as a form of inquiry, with the goal being to determine something about the physical universe. Observing for the sake of observation is not true scientific inquiry! REMINDER: Your observation must focus on an object in nature, not people (which would push you into the social sciences). en-us 2016-08-27 02:07:49 UTC 2026-03-16 13:23:50 UTC hello@padlet.com http://d262le4z25sx36.cloudfront.net/portraits/smiley.jpg wdlloyd https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120432084 I am interested in learning what kind of flower this is. ]]> 2016-08-29 21:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120432084 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120444348 I am interested in learning more about storms because I never understood them fully and want to observe them]]> 2016-08-29 23:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120444348 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120444527 I am interested in how flowers grow and what factors affect it]]> 2016-08-29 23:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120444527 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120446486 I am interested in observing the cracks of sidewalks and the most common reasons in why they exist.]]> 2016-08-30 00:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120446486 jmalexa4 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120446505 I'm curious as to why the branches on this tree grew in only one direction.]]> 2016-08-30 00:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120446505 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120446753 I am interested in learning more about leaves.]]> 2016-08-30 00:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120446753 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120446984 I am interested in learning more about rocks found around campus.]]> 2016-08-30 00:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120446984 jmalexa4 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120447562 I am curious to find out how this root formation was created.]]> 2016-08-30 00:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120447562 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120447566 I want to learn more about the different insects certain flowers attract.]]> 2016-08-30 00:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120447566 jmalexa4 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448184 I am interested to find out what purpose sap plays in the growth of trees, and why sap comes out of trees.]]> 2016-08-30 00:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448184 jmalexa4 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448326 I am curious to find out how grass spreads so easily and grows so quickly.]]> 2016-08-30 00:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448326 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448337 I am interested in what birds can be found around campus.]]> 2016-08-30 00:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448337 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448639 i am interested in how flowers effect an ecosystem ]]> 2016-08-30 00:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448639 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448888 I am interested in how animals interact with each other on campus]]> 2016-08-30 00:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120448888 ajrash https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120449769 I want to learn about why soybean pods look the way they do. ]]> 2016-08-30 00:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120449769 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120449881 I am interested in the purpose of petals on a flower.]]> 2016-08-30 00:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120449881 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120449957 I am interested in how much water a tree gives off.]]> 2016-08-30 00:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120449957 ajrash https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120450569 I want to know why this flower grew to be more vibrant than the others on the bush.]]> 2016-08-30 00:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120450569 ajrash https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120450703 I'm curious as to why grass grows in patches.]]> 2016-08-30 00:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120450703 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/7buo31fsi2kn/wish/120450821 I am curious to find out what kind of flowers exist on campus.
