=__FRE E JO URNAL __= For my journal four I took two visits because of my hypothesis. My hypothesis was “if the water is cleaner then there is more living fishes in the pond.” My procedure was to visit the Eco place when it is raining and when it is clear. On both days I would count as much fishes I spot in a curtain area. I would write down my results then build a table . After this experiment I was really shocked. The reason why I was shocked was because there was a lot more fish that I spotted when the water was dirty instead of when it was clean. The reason why I think that there was more fish was because when it was raining the fish all from upstream would come down and into the pond and on the lower part of the stream. Another thing that I think happened was that all the things raised from the bottom including the dirt and the fish. When it wasn’t raining the water seemed like it was low tied because I could step into the water with out getting my knees wet unlike last time. There were still the bamboo trees but the bamboo wasn’t just green now it was both green and brown. During my experiment I spotted a coy fish. I wasn’t sure if that fish was always in there and I didn’t see it or someone just put it in there. All the plants that were dead on the side weren’t there anymore. The plants seemed healthy again. The plants looked really green and healthy except for the bamboo trees that were upstream. As I took other observations at my eco place there was a tree that fell and was inside the stream. It was raining when it fell. When I visited the place when it was raining it seemed like all the plants were destroyed. The water was really brown and it looked as if the water was more like a smoothie other then a liquid. I didn’t touch the water at all since it looked so dirty. I felt like it was unsafe because a lot of the plants were falling down because of the rain and wind, so right after I took my results in the pond I left right away.
