Out and about
Today, in Field Biology, we went out to test the soil of the sample area we’re using for a field study. We randomly selected a 10×10 meters sector within the area we’re investigating and tested the cohesiveness, grittiness and water capacity of the soil. I could go into further detail about the exact procedure, but the point is that it was sunny and above freezing, and it was nice to be out. In my experience, it is difficult to find excuses to stay outside as the weather gets colder around October, but Field Biology is giving me a fantastic excuse to be outdoors!
