I hypothesise that there will be a positive relationship between the amount of neptune's necklaces and molluscs.
There will be a larger percentage cover of neptune's necklaces because they have a larger body mass and cover more area.
Both the neptunes necklaces and the molluscs will be in a close proximity to each other in the same area, this area will be at the edge of the water.
Because neptunes necklaces tend to be have a larger surface area and are normally found in large groups.
I believe that they will be close together because they both need to be close to the water to survive and stay away from predators.
They will be close to the edge of the water because the molluscs use it for shelter and the neptunes necklaces get washed onto …show more content…
I will divide this number with however many quadrats i want to place, this is so it has an equal gap between each quadrat. will pla(For example, the width is 20 metres and i want 6 sample, i will divide 20 by 6 and get 3.3. This will plameans i will place my quadrat ever 3.3 metres) Every time i place my quadrat down i will take a photo, I am only taking a photo to check later, in case i miss an organism, And in case they are trying to move while i am counting them. By doing this i can also look at the environment where the quadrat was if anything strange comes up in the data, to find a reason. To analyse my data i will start at the top left hand square of the quadrat and move along, i will find the fraction of neptune's necklaces within each small square in the quadrat, to document this i will write it down on paper. I will also count the number of individual molluscs within the quadrat. Once i have analysed every quadrat and recorded what i have found i will take it back to class to …show more content…
Then i will need to turn that fraction into a percentage, To do this i will divide the numerator by the denominator. Once that is done i just need to times that number by 4. This is because since there are 25 small squares within the quadrat, each one of them equals 4%. I will do this for every quadrat. will play(For example, ⅔ + ½ + 1 + ⅘ + ¼ + ⅓ = 71/20, 7120 =3.55, 3.55 x 4 = 14.2. = 14.2%) 10. I will then place this data in a graph, the graph i am going to use is a scatter plot because it will plashows trends better. This graph will be what i base my conclusion on. My conclusion with will will plastate whether or not my hypothesis was true, and why this is.
If my quadrat manages to land on a spot where there is an obstacle, for instance a rock. I will place my quadrat as close as possible to the spot i was supposed to place it. If i happen to come across any other errors that could affect me gathering accurate data, i will assess the issue then, and come up with a solution that fits.
To make sure that i am not harming the environment i will make sure to not step on any organism by looking where i step. I will walk on one side of the transect and place my quadrat on the other, to prevent contamination for me and people after
