Pond

away from home. The drive to my grandparents was memorized before I knew how to get back to my own home (hyperbole). This is the place where me and my brothers, Brandon and Gavin, would run and explore with no cares in the world. Everything from the pond, in the enormous front yard, to the dirt road and pine trees in the back, have memories from baby years to now. This has always been my happy place; all my senses begin to tingle as I enjoy this lovely place. I was always close to my…

some reading done by the pond, Mom.” The summer assignment, after all, was to read Thoreau’s Walden, and what better place to do it than at Walden Pond? As the car window rolled up, I put a hand to my forehead and glanced up at the top of the trees. Its beauty was absolutely stunning, but envisioning the area the way it was described in the book with this road running so close to the pond was difficult. Instead of dwelling on that fact, though, I decided to head down the Pond Path and depart…

reproduces by laying eggs. Floppers is the only amphibian to have actual claws that is used to climb and shred foods. Floppers lays his eggs from winter until spring. When it is muddy and wet, floppers and other african clawed frogs will travel to other ponds to search for food. The african clawed frog can live up to 15 years. Floppers sheds his skin 4 times a year and eats it. Floppers does not have a vocal cord/sac, the male african clawed frogs make a call sounding like long to short moans.…

our backs and went off the the woods behind my house. Me and my father had to look for the right spot before setting up the tent. After about twenty minutes we decided on a small clearing between two large trees about fifteen or twenty feet from the pond. I did this because we could be close to a water source. The trees also provided flat land and protection from the wind. This way the tent wouldn’t get blown down and we could quickly get water to put out a fire or to boil food. After finding…

The Asuka period listed from 538 A.D. until 710 A.D. This was from the middle of the sixth century to the beginning of the eighth century. This period was known for its significant social, artistic, and political transformations. This period also introduced Buddhism from Korea. There were some main events that occurred in the Asuka Period. The first major thing that happened in the Asuka Period was the Taika reforms. This was the time when the soga government was overthrown by Prince…

and legs. Yep it had been a bad night. Just an hour or two earlier me and my friends had been planning for a perfect halloween strategy for candy. “We should go to stirrup first” “No we should go around pond ridge” We all argued. And then we finally had it. We were just going to stirrup then pond ridge then so on. we were going to hit so many houses I lost count. I quit counting after 20 but you get the point. We were almost ready to go. 30 minutes until we could start. I AM SO PUMPED!!!…

though.” Grandpop told us while we got situated in the car. I was still nervous, though, but I knew if Grandpop said it was fun, it would be. After a few minutes, we arrived at the park. It had a small pond, with a few green saw grass bushes sticking out of the water. In the middle of the pond, there was a fountain that went off and on every 15 minutes. “This is where we’re going to fish,” Grandpop said as he put down the fishing rods, cooler, and bait.…

The snails were fed lettuce ad libitum. Egg masses containing multiple embryos were laid on polystyrene foam pieces, which were collected between 24-48 hours of exposure, and then moved into a separate incubator. Control flasks of pond water were kept and dechlorinated pond water was added whenever the petri dishes with the embryos ran low on water. The embryos were aged for four days to allow the heart to develop. Octopamine was ordered from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) in a solid form…

For my Science fair paper I am going to use ten different lure,Which are going to be a soft plastic sanko, jig, lipless crankbait, squarebill crankbait, jerkbait, craw dad, and a swim bait.I have went fishing in five different ponds a a squarebill crank bait has worked the best.Most web cites and most of them said that a soft plastic sanko will catch the most fish.Which I personally don't think is true. “Best bass fishing lures” said that a soft plastic sanko will catch the most fish. “Ten…

someone to look up to, someone from whom I can learn. As a child, my father always told me that if I was the smartest person in a room, I was in the wrong room. Therefore, I do not want to be the bigger fish in a small pond, I would rather be in a bigger pond, for it is the bigger pond that allows you to grow into a bigger…
