Enbe project one
The document summarizes a two-day field trip to Riverstone Eco Resort for an ENBE project. On day one, students selected field sites, observed species, and created logos from natural materials. They presented logos and had tutorials in the evening. On day two, most students did obstacle courses and rafting while the author's group finished site work and filmed a video. They packed and left around 1pm after lunch. After the trip, the group researched their findings to create infographic boards on reproduction.

- 10. Ability to walkon water: Gift of a long, hydrophobic legs to help them stay above water. The tiny hairs on the legs provide both a hydrophobic surface as well as a larger surface area to spread their weight over the water. Nature ability
- 11. Reproduction Image taken fromhttp://www.thefigandthewasp.com/?p=137 Blackmailing The male water strider(w.s.) will black mail the female w.s. by tapping his legs on the surface of the water that will lure predator to come. During the foreplay, male mounts on top of the female and if she resists, he will tap the water surface more actively and since the female is underneath, there’s a high chance she’ll be eaten by the predator. So most likely she will have no choice but to follow what the male wants

- 14. Plant specie’s details Scientificclassification Kingdom Plantae Order Asterales Family Asteraceae Tribe Cichorieae Subtribe Lactucinae
- 15. The branchesfor the plant is often thin. The leaves are thin as well. Most of the yellow flowers located at the end of the branches Sow Thistle Flowers: To attract insects Leaves: To absorb sunlight Roots: To hold firm to the ground
- 16. Flowers areinsect pollinated. Vegetative reproduction occurs via its rhizome system. Reproduction

- 26. The ecologyis a biodiversity which included both living things and non-living things. Living things such as insects, birds, fishes and etc. While non-living things are things like sand, water, rocks and etc. In most of the case, the non-living things will provide shelters to the living things and we can also say that it will becomes ones living thing’s habitat.

After the lecturers are done, The worker, Miss Amirah gave a short talk about the do and don’t as well as rules and regulation that we have to follow throughout the whole stay at Riverstone Eco Resort. Around 10.15 am, we’re off to the surrounding to select our own sites in our own small units.
- 31. My unittook the site (left) after looking around the surrounding for awhile. The reason we picked that as our site is because it consists of both land and water, and there’s a sand platform at the middle of the site as well. On the side note, we could found many different kinds of species around the site too.
- 32. After wemarked out site and look around it, we had our first lunch at the resort at 12pm. The lunch was great and we continued our job at the site around 1pm. Finding different kind of species, sketching the sites, collecting materials to create a logo during the night and etc, everything was going smoothly, until…
- 33. We startedto play at the river around 4 in the afternoon!!
- 34. The studentsin the river kept on trick the other students that just came back from their site about we are having a “meeting” and when they came down, we just splashed them with water.

- 40. My unitskipped the activities because we had a few things left to do with the site, if we don’t skipped it, we wont be having enough time to do it anymore. Around 9am, my unit went back to our site for the last site observation. Besides that, we used the time we had left to filmed our ENBE project 1 video.
- 41. Around 11.30amwe all went back to the dorms to pack our stuff and ready to gathered at the lobby. The lady in charged provide us a lunch too before we went back to Taylor's university.
- 42. We tooksome group photos before we left the resort around 1.00pm.
- 43.
- 44. After thetrip, we started to look up info related to our findings to do our group part, “The Info graphic boards”. We did those boards with the theme “Reproduction”.
- 45. The EndThank youfor watching
