Go for a nature walk and identify five types of plants or birds.

“Today's walk was under a nice, clear sky, which was a pleasant contrast to the rain we've gotten all week. I went to the pine reserve near campus today, and it was a lot bigger than I originally thought it was. At first glance, the greenery all looks the same, but I was able to find a lot of diversity once I slowed down. I struggled a lot to find the moss and ferns, but I was able to find one wild example of each in the reserve. I was especially interested when I saw two different species of insects pollinating an angiosperm, those being a Bumble Bee and a Narrow-headed Marsh Fly. I have seen many bumble bees, but I was especially intrigued by the fact that the Marsh Fly had patterning that looked similar to that of a honey bee or a bumble bee with its black and yellow striping. After learning about the symbiotic adaptation of flowers and their ability to facilitate sexual reproduction via the pollen spread by these pollinating species, I was pleasantly surprised to see not one but two pollinators during my walk, especially because I had never seen a marsh fly before.”

“On this nature walk, I went to the Pine reserves on our school campus at night around 9pm. I was booked and busy this whole week and on Wednesday, this was the only time I could squeeze into my day to do my nature walk and to observe some plants. By that time, the air was very cold and I shivered my way through my nature walk. It was also very dark but since plants are so abundant, I was able to find and identify different species without much problems. I tried my best to find plants from all 4 main groups of plants. The first plant I took a picture of was a species of ferns which were seedless vascular plants. I also saw both flowering plants and also evergreen plants. I was not able to find any mosses probably because of a combination of the dark and the cold temperature. At night, I also noticed the lack of animals. The only animals I saw were the geese? or swan? in the reservoir and they seemed to be sleeping.”
