https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/dj8i762xxb2o 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 02:11:11 UTC 2025-06-28 16:33:43 UTC hello@padlet.com http://d262le4z25sx36.cloudfront.net/portraits/smiley.jpg wdlloyd https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/dj8i762xxb2o/wish/120434844 I want to determine what kind of flower this is.]]> 2016-08-29 21:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/dj8i762xxb2o/wish/120434844 abnoel98 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/dj8i762xxb2o/wish/120445806 Why are magnolia buds so large?]]> 2016-08-30 00:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/dj8i762xxb2o/wish/120445806 abnoel98 https://padlet.com/wdlloyd/dj8i762xxb2o/wish/120446073 What are ants doing climbing trees?
