Day 13 Last Science Day

Waking up at 7 am felt so nice, I felt like I slept good and was ready for the day. around 8 we started off with gram staining, I only had to do two they where from the from the Crane Prairie samples we did a few days ago, when I finished the red and yellow gram stain I helped Roman with the timer since we did have to meet up with one last person before 9 am. Thomas Tallbull was the man we met today, he gave us a tour  around the Walla Walla Hatchery. Thomas showed us where they kept the fishes and how they made sure the water was good. The thing that helps Thomas make sure the water does not have no bacteria or virus is a machine called Drum Filter. This machine scans the water and search for anything that can hurt the fish. Thomas also told us that the water is so clean that the fished love being there. Thid tour lasted around one hour than we headed back to the camp ground to finish the last gram stains we had so that than we could head to the Nixyaawii Government Agency's conference room to finish of  with identifying possible bacteria. 
Thomas is a hatchery manager.
Honesty I wish that I was home threw out this trip, but now looking threw everything we have dome has made me realized that I have learned so much (I did not know nothing about science.) I'm glad that there was some classmates who are majoring in Environmental Science/Studies, there have really helped me through out threw out these two weeks. 
For Day 14 WE ARE HEADING HOME the drive will not be long at all, I"M SO EXCITED TO GO HOME! 😀

Day 6 Science Day

Today we woke up and realized we did not have to pack a lunch since we were going to stay at the campground for a science day. So today for breakfast, I had a bagel with strawberry cream cheese (spread). Jessica did teach us about how cow waste can affect the river, and how it could create new bacteria in the water. Talking about bacteria.... Not all bacteria are bad; some can be good for the water source, but some can affect it. After the little lecture, we headed to the RV and started looking at our bacteria that we started growing from the river samples we have been collecting.  At this point, I had finished the science project we were doing, so I asked my classmates if I could take a picture of them, and they said yes. This was the setup of the project that we were doing. The tubes have two sides red and Yellow. The red side has grown harmful bacteria and the yellow side has general growth and pigment. We had to get some bacteria and spread them on the Petri dishes, then put th...

Day 12 Banding owls

Well today we woke up at 6 am and headed to the CTUIR Plant Nursery and met Gail. She works in Plant Nursery We helped her cut some plants and sort them out into a metal grate, it had a bunch of little squares that held the plants up. Gail showed us the way to cut the plants and ways not to cut the plant, but she also told us that if we mess up it did not matter since it "would not be the end of the world" this made me feel a littler better because I felt like I would probably mess something up. When we finished, Gail told us that she would let us have a plant to take. The plant she gave us was a tree that does not really get sold, since it was not advertised enough. I got a plant and named it Aisha, she's tall and has many leaves. I'm so exited to take it home and care for it, I know my mom and dad will enjoy having a tree home since we do not have any at our house. Around 11 am we headed to Nixyaawii Government Agency where we met Andrew Wildbill he did a presentati...
