American University Transect January 15 2015 - Purpose: The purpose of the experiment was to observe different species in a designated transect on campus. This provided real life examples of biodiversity and helped strengthen each students understanding of different components of evolution. The experiment also provided necessary samples for future experiments.
Materials and Methods: The materials used were simply a tube to collect the sample from the transect for the Hay Infusion. The methods started with finding the transect. Then determining its boundary. Then observing the different biotic and abiotic components of it. Then drawing the transect. Then finally collecting the sample.
Data and Observations:

Biotic - grass (north) -tall grass (east) -red bush (west) -red flower (east) -cottontail plant (east) -organisms in the soil (north,west,east,and west) Figure 2. List of Biotic components
Abiotic -stand (east) -drain (southwest) -Dunkin Donuts cup (west) -straw (southwest) -rocks (north west east and south) Figure 3. List of abiotic components
Conclusions and Future Directions: Based on the data and observations clearly there are many different biotic and abiotic components in the transect. The data and observations gave a great real life example of biodiversity and definitely strengthened the understanding of evolution. Next I would have tried to get in the areas that were tougher to observe because of some of the plants that got in the way.
