Today we went out to the field below the library and used a 10 x 10 meter quadrat with randomly selected 1m x 1m squares to examine the species diversity in the area.  Who knew how many different species were in that little field!

No homework tonight, enjoy your night off.  Tomorrow we will be using Vernier Temperature Probes to create a temperature map of campus and learn how to use the "Events with Entry" setting.  We will use this method of collecting data on academic travel.
