Group A - We compared our data with Miss Simpson's class in Laurinburg, North Carolina. We found many things that were
alike in our squares.
We both found mushrooms and fungus. We found ants and beetles like them. They found termites like us,
also.
We both found dirt and burrows that might be squirrel storing holes or snake houses.
Lots of things in our squares were different because Miss Simpson's class is farther north and closer to the
coast than we are. We did not find stinkbugs, spiders, mosquitoes, ladybugs or grasshoppers. We also did not find
sand, small rocks, or a cicada exoskeleton. They found lots of plants that we didn't have in our square, like wild onions,
pine trees, and a dogwood tree.
Group B - We compared our data with Miss Coor's class in Avondale, Arizona. Here are the things we have that are the same:
grass, weeds, trees, ants, gnats, birds, dirt, metal. Some things that Miss Coor's class has that we don't are: a bush, clover,
mushrooms, beetle, butterfly, waterbug, bee, mosquitoes, spiders, moth, cockroach. We think we have different plants and
animals because we have different climates.
Below are our project photographs.
