   5. Are there concerns with it?

Write up a one page summary to turn and to use in a game.

Some choices:

3. Choose one investigation below, do it, write it up and bring to class November 18.  This would make a good team project.
   1. Explore a stagnant wet area (such as Lake Marcel or the area by the valley trail).  Collect as many different types of protests as you can.  Identify them and bring to class. Who eats who?
   2. If you worked on the park last year, visit and analyze it.  Find out changes in the stream, health of the native plants we planted, vandalism, other changes.  Make recommendations about work that we should tackle this year.
