Forest Habitat

Hello again! It’s Shayna back with another blog post! Today I am going to tell you about Forest Habitat. Let’s get started.

 

 

 

Where Can You Find This Habitat?

You can find the forest habitat in North America. When I’m on the highway, I can see a lot of forests.

 

Landscape Of The Forest

You were probably wondering, what is in the forest? Well, I’m going to tell you some things in the forest. In the forest, there are plenty of trees that grow. Plants and moss grow in the forest. In some forests, some flowers grow. You can find a lot of tree stumps in the forest. In the forest, there are many bugs and wild animals that call the forest home. millipedes, ants, callipitters, earthworms, and beetles make holes in the dirt. The ground in the forest is called the forest floor.

Can People Live In The Forest?

It is possible to live in the forest. There’s just one problem… It depends on which forest you’re in. Imagine you were in a temperate forest where there’s an amazing amount of materials and food for us to live peacefully.  But I don’t think you would want to live there if you were in the dering woods. Here is a picture of the dering woods!

This is the dering woods. SPOOKY!

Fun Facts!:

  1. Did you know that the dering woods is in the top five most dangerous forests in the world?!
  2. Did you know that there have been nearly 14 reports and a sense of almost 14 different ghosts in the dering woods?! Wow!

 

Animals

In forests, there are many dangerous and safe animals. Here are some facts about earthworms in the forest:

 

 

  1. Earthworms are small and interesting animals.
  2. Earthworms can not see anything.
  3. There are around  2700 different species of earthworms on the earth!
  4. A body of an earthworm is split into different rings.
  5. Earthworms can only breathe through their own skin.
  6. Earthworms don’t have any eyes, ears, legs, or arms.
  7. Some earthworms in Australia can become larger to above 3 meters high!

Here are some facts about red foxes in the forest:

 

  1. Red foxes are fast on their feet.
  2. Red foxes are known for their fluffy, and bushy tails.
  3. Red foxes wrap their tails around their bodies to keep them warm during cold weather.
  4. Red foxes have pointy and black-tipped ears.
  5. Red foxes can detect the squeak of a cute, little tiny mouse from 30 metres away.
  6. Red foxes adjust to the night by changing their vision.
  7.  If you shine a light into a fox’s eyes at night, their eyes will glow green because of the mirror-like membrane behind their retinas.

 

 

 

Look at this ADORABLE red fox! He’s so cute!

 

 

 

Human Impact On The Forest

 

Good Impact

People make the forest more lively. A lot of people even have gardens and or in their backyards. Other good impacts on the forest include invasive species control, and vine control. Including crop tree release, and timber stand improvement. Erosion control, tree planting, and timber harvests.

Bad Impact

There are so many people Did you know that the emerald ash borer has cut down so many ash trees in Ontario and Quebec? A hidden impact of this insect’s destruction is the loss of unique gene pools represented by populations of every one of the native ash species. It was welcomed in North America in the 1990s. This shows that should help the forest and grow as many trees as possible. I have been on the highway many times and I see a lot of cut-down trees. There are millions of trees that have been cut down in the forest.

 

 

 

Reflection Of Learning

What could I do better?

I don’t want to change anything about my blog post. I love it the way it is!

What was my favourite part of this unit?

I loved EVERYTHING!

What would I like to know about

I’m thinking about middle ages

 

Thank you for reading my blog post! Bye!

Reflection of Indigenous project (Ojibwe)

Hi, It’s Shayna back with another blog post. Today I’m going to tell you about how Orly and I made our indigenous project, about  Ojibwe, the indigenous community.

 

How We Made Our Poster:

Here is a video of how we made our poster:

 

Notes:

we had to put information into our project, so I’m going to tell you how I planned. Not how Orly planned. How I planned. When Orly was doing a blog post and I was doing the project, I would scan the book and when I found the main part of the paragraph, I wrote down the notes that we needed for the project. I think of plans of what else I could do to write down notes.

 

Venn Diagram:

To be honest, at first, me and Orly had no idea what to write for our Venn Diagram. But eventually, we got some ideas that were better than nothing. I think our Venn Diagram was completely fine.

Reflection Of Learning:

 What could I do better next time?

I think that I could of put more detail.

What did I do well?

I think that I like the picture of my poster.

 

 

 

Thank you for reading this post! I hope you have an AMAZING day and I’ll see you in my next post.
