The Observation project

Hi everyone my name is Nick and in my English class we are doing a nature project which forces me to observe something of my choice. I decided to observe the trees that run alongside the street across from Mendive Middle School, which is about a block away from my house, so it is very convenient. I plan on observing the trees and their surroundings, such as the moonlight, the ground, and the weather that occurs. At least four times a week after school on my way home, I have yet to set a specific time to carry out my observations. Throughout the course of this project I hope to be able to notice vast changes in the way the trees react to the changes of seasons.

So far what I've noticed is that the trees provide a great deal of shade from the sun to the houses that are directly behind them. This is something that anyone who drives on the road can see, and by the time that Mendive gets out of school the shade has shifted, and it provides excellent shade to the parents that are parked directly under the trees to pick up their students. I can still remember when I walked home from school under those trees. The shade felt so good during the hot August afternoons.

I've never had to observe these trees so closely, I hope that this school project will actually be one of the ones I will enjoy, and remember years from now. I look forward to my future observations to see how the trees change from the beginning of the project, to the end.
