2. Due to Stanley’s and my phone fell into water , we
lost 80% of the photo we took during the journey.
I’ll try to describe with leftover 20% photo and data
collected in Shirley and Goh’s phone.
Don’t mess with the nature , it’s so powerful
!
Prepare and research before site
visit
I did research before the site visit with Stanley
as we already plan to study the ant species and
we went to Daiso , Aeon , etc to buy material to
study on the ant species
4. BRIEFING
Ms.Dee given
brief at the
hall of the
resort.
We are
advised to
take a lot of
photo in our
site to record
the data.
We were
asked to
zoom in our
site to
observe
closely.
5. SITE HUNT
Ms. Amira bring us to
explore around the
resort to find a best
site for our research.
We explored along the
river until the reservoir .
7. THE REASON WHY I CHOSEN MY SITE
There two tree grow close together which
attract my attention on the first sight.
Close by the river.
Have more variety of plant.
The roots of the plant was exposed to the
air .
There are small fishes swimming around
the roots.
8. INTERESTING PART OF MY SITE
My team and I took measurement within 5
metre on land and another 5 metre in river.
The river water is crystal clear.
The site is more clean.
A lot of data could be collect.
There is a colony of red ant at the bottom of
the tree.
The view is fantastic !
9. 5 SENSES OF MY SITE
Sight
Hear
Touc
h
Taste
Smell
10. SIGHT
Green plant everywhere
Ant colony
Two tree grow close to each other
Blue sky
Crystal river water
Ferm lying and moss grow on the tree
11. SMELL
Fresh air
Smelly polluted water (nearby the root)
Rubbish everywhere
Fish corpse that abandon
by local fisherman
12. TOUCH
Mimosa Pudica closes it’s leaves when I touched
it
Smooth grass
Rough tree bark
Sticky latex juice
Cold refreshing river water
Sandy
13. TASTE
Tasteless river water
Astringent taste or latex juice
Bitter tree leaves
Salty sand
14. HEAR
Bird chipping
Flow of river water
Moving leave
Sound of car (got highway nearby)
Cheering of crowd (probably is my course mate)
16. CHARACTERISTIC OF FIRE ANTS (SOLENOPSIS)
• Fire ants have 3 pairs of legs like the others insects
• It’s body is red in colours
• Solenopsis is it’s scientific name
• Release venom when it bite that
causing extreme pain
• 5 senses :
sight : flaming red
smell : unknown
touch : painful bite
taste : juicy , sour , sticky
hear : unknown
17. ADDITIONAL INFO OF FIRE ANT
Able to lift weight as 20 times of their own
body weight
Natural gifted architect
Painful bite which might be fatal for small
animal
Each colony only have a queen , it’s rarely
replaced and the ant colony can only survive
up to 8 months without queen.
19. CHARACTERISTIC OF OLD RUBBER TREE
(HEVEA BRASILIENSIS)
The nail on the tree had reveal the identity of
the tree.
Rusted nail tells that the nail is on the tree for
a quite long time.
The latex that leftover is dark brown in
colours
i removed a bark of tree and
the tree didn’t produce latex
anymore
20. 5 SENSE FOR RUBBER TREE
Sight :
-brown colour bark
-dry latex which is dark brown in colour
-rare leaves on the tree
-two tree grow close together
-some of the root were exposed to the air
Smell:
-smell ‘‘rubber’’
Touch :
-rough surface on the bark
-smooth surface under the bark when the bark was
removed
-sticky latex juice
Taste
-astringent
-sticky
Hear:
21. ECOSYSTEM
Ecosystem is a bond of variety
species which go in a cycle.
The cycle related the transfer
of the energy from sun
beginning with producer at the
bottom of food pyramid.
A balance ecosystem keep the food chain running and
maintain the number of population of certain species.
Human activity nowadays are affecting the balance of
ecosystem effectively that causing some species such as
turtle which causes jellyfish grow rapidly and break the
balance of ecosystem .
22. ANALYZING DATA
I drew grid to estimate the
number of population in my
site.
Each unit represent 1
I estimate 5 different species of plant and animal to built
a population pyramid.
Except for population of ant , I
insert the data according to my
memory and I do actual calculation
to calculate the number of
population of ant
23. INTERPRETING DATA
I used a biology formula
that I’d learn in high
school to do the
calculation
The formula is very easy to
understand and it’s easy to
conduct the experiment as
well.
24. PRESENTATION OF THE DATA
I’d discuss through with
Stanley as I wanted to turn all
the data into a statistic graph
which other people would
easier to understand at the first
sight as it’s an infographic as
well.
So we start to do the
calculation over night and night
to double confirm the answer
of the gradient we get is
accurate.
We mix all the math subject
and formula to enhance the
25. CALCULATE THE AVERAGE
By taking the average of
both gradient , we took the
average for animal and plant
26. CONCLUSION OF MY INFOGRAPHIC
The smaller the size of an organism , the
bigger the number of population.
