The Methods Project is a tool to show us, as a class, how important it is for the scientific community to conduct research with procedures that allow for an experiment to be replicated and achieve the same results. For the methods project, we had to make a figure showing an interaction between two species around us. I choose to use Dunfree Conservatory as a space to find one. There is a pond there with koi fish with plants surrounding it and I noticed that the fish sometimes nibble on the plants that either grow in the pond or happen to fall in. Seeing as the building was an enclosed, emperature controlled environment where the plants and the pond are maintains without much outside influence, I thought it would be a perfect area. That helped with the control factors of this project as the both the fish and plants are stuck in one area for easy access and the outside weather wouldn’t affect them.
