Invasive species opinon

What is my opinion on invasive species?

Norway maple
Buckthorn
Rose
Burning Bush
These were some of the invasive plants that I saw when I went outside of school for class. I feel like invasive species could be good but most are bad. Invasive species can be good by invading something not wanted. Most invasive species are bad because they change the environment. They could invade a plant that an animal eats. This would cause the animal to have to try to find something different to eat. Invasive species can just be awful for people and animals. For people some plants can cover houses or your garden.

New parts of Venus fly trap.

I measured my Venus fly trap once again. The "right" Venus fly trap has grown to 7cm! That Venus fly trap has also grown a second Venus fly trap that is at 5 1/2cm but they have not grown a mouth yet. The "left" Venus fly trap is 3cm big than a second trap grown than a third! The second one was also 3cms and the last one is 2cm. This fly trap has grown a mouth that is a cm big. I have put in some grass seeds for a invasive species so we can see what happens.

New spot in woods



When we went back into the woods I changed my spot. I picked a better spot to observe. What I was able to see what a small stream with a couple trees leaning over the stream. I was able to hear birds tweeting and the stream streaming. I smelled the dirty water and the bark off of the treas. I felt the cold water and the rough bark.

Leaf difference

The difference between a silver maple and a sugar maple is that the silver maple is a lot smaller than the sugar maple. The silver maple also has a lot more points on the ends than the sugar maple also the silver maple is a darker green. Now the difference from the Cedar and the White Pine other than them being a completely different leaf is that the White Pine is needle like and the Cedar is leafy like.

Venus fly trap

My  hypothesis is that each week my Venus fly traps will grow 2 centimeters big each week. At first the first Venus fly trap was 2cm big than got to 4cm but now it's 5cm. The second Venus fly trap was 0cm than got to 1/2cm and it is now 1cm big.
