Check out this infographic I made about Save the Bay!
On the field trip, I spent most of my time with my group collecting data. One memory I had with my group members (Chloe, Kristen, and Alysa) was when we were analyzing the biodiversity of the specific areas. I recall working together to obtain the information faster by allowing each person in the group to count the amount of plant species in a specific area. I believe we worked well and efficiently together. Another memory was when my group and I were calculating the biodiversity in the data table. We were all huddled near the car under the shade, completing out our calculations. I had a fund time collaborating with my awesome group.

I would not change anything about the experience because I had such a fun time! I really hoped to stay longer and do more data collecting. The warm and cool weather made the experience even better! I loved this field trip and the experience exceeded my expectations. This field trip should be done annually for the AP Biology class. I enjoyed the trip so much that I was not scared of getting my hands dirty for once! I wanted to learn more and integrate myself with the awesome SF Bay. I 100/10 recommend this trip!
