Hi Mr Wood, it's Ashley Wager from your 3rd period class, and I'm just answering the questions for the quiz and asking a question about your trip!

1.How much CO2 is the graph showing? About 377 Million Pounds of CO2 is shown in the graph.

.2.What time of day was this data collected? This data was collected at night because the carbon is low, that means there is not much sunlight for plants.

3.In two more hours, when the next sample will be collected, will the amount of CO2 measured move up or down? Why! It will move down because the sun won't be out and that means that the plants won't have sunlight to produce CO2. Or, if it was morning in 2 hours, then it would be more because the plants would have sunlight to produce CO2.

And a question: What type of animal have you seen there that you have never seen before, or have you seen all of them before?

Good luck Mr. Wood and Have fun!

John Wood

Thank you for the answers and the questions. Good thinking on the quiz! You are on the right track. Remember that, in the sun when the plants have more photosynthesis going on, they are taking in the CO2. At that time you would see the levels go down. Out of all the animals I have seen so far the only one I had not seen before has been the snowshoe hare. I hope to see alot more in the next couple of weeks.Mr. Wood

Thanks for the help on the quiz! It makes more sense now! I hope you are having a fun time!

Good to hear from you. Good thinking on the questions, but remember that plants take in CO2 in the sunlight during photosynthesis so the CO2 levels would go down during the day. I had never seen a Ptarmigan before. And if you're not sure what that is, look in the journals.Thanks,
Mr. Wood

Sorry, I forgot that I had answered your questions before. Your welcome for the help.Mr. Wood
