Deer+Island+Shore+Ecosystem

INTRODUCTION: Hola! Hello! My name is Olivia and I go to the bilingual school [|Amigos]. This Wiki you are about to read is going to tell you the way things work all around you! Ecosystems are amazing! There are so many different kinds! But right now we will only be talking about the ocean/shore ecosystem at [|Deer Island]. Why am I doing this Wiki? I am doing this Wiki to open your eyes up to how everything works as in what animals need to live, where they live, who and what special part we play in our world.

Through out half of the year the whole 6th grade has been on many wonderful field trips to different, unique ecosystems like the river, pond, shore, meadow and forest. We’ve learned the abiotic [non-living] and biotic [living] things in an ecosystem. We learned what producers are and consumers are. You’re probably wondering what is this kid talking about when she says producers and consumers? Producers are biotic creatures that produce or make their own food! For instance a plant does not just eat or buy food like us humans they make their own food out of only 3 ingredients: sun, carbon dioxide and water. How ever us humans consume or eat food that we don’t make it our selves. That’s why we are called consumers. If you keep on reading you will learn so much more about the deer island shore ecosystem.

Deer Island is where we were headed. Now Deer Island isn’t really an island but once was. But due to a hurricane the sand was swept together to make a link from solid ground to the little island so it’s now a peninsula. To get there you have to go by car, bus or a lot of trains. My class and I just took a school bus for that was the easiest way to get there. When we got off the bus the weather was chilly but not freezing. The sounds of the oceans waves could be heard from the top of the hill we were coming down from. And Salty fresh air was smelled for miles. Going down the steep hill was the most exciting part of the trip. The rocks were slippery with algae and other organisms. Seagulls seen in the light grey sky chattering looking for a snack. Barnacles clung to the slimy ocean rocks. The most important tool we used was our brains. We had to figure out who was a producer and consumers but it was a lot of fun to identify creatures some we didn’t even know of. Some of the producers at deer island shore ere the algae, seaweed and kelp. All of these colorful producers are at the base of the pyramid. Some of the primary consumers are the fish, sea turtle, and worm. The pyramid is a very important part.

In the pyramid they are right above the producers because they eat producers. The decomposers are the things that decompose or brake up the biotic dieing or dead things. Examples of decomposers are worms, snails, bacteria and so on. On the base are the secondary consumers until the last at the very top of pyramid, the terciary consumers. The pyramid is really just a simple way of showing that gets energy from who. That’s why it’s called an energy pyramid.

At Deer Island we learned many things but the things that I thought were the most important we learned was if you through one piece of your trash in the ocean it could get stuck around the neck of a seal and die and because that seal was food to the whale the whale also died and since the seal ate fish now there are to many fish! Get it! Just one piece of your trash becomes a damage of whole ecosystems. We also learned everything I just taught you! About decomposers, consumers, pyramids so on. Deer Island maybe just an island but it’s really full of life and breathes just like you and me!


 * Efectos de la geografia en el desarollo de la historia de Deer Island**


 * INTRODUCION**: Hola! Hello! Me llamo Olivia y voy a la escuela bilingüe Amigos. Este año hemos estado estudiando sistemas económicas. Fuimos a Deer Island, Arnold Arboretum y Fresh Pond, pero a mi lo que me fascino lo mas de todos esos sistemas económicas fue el de costa de Deer Island. Hay mucha vida y la isla casi respira por tanto vida. Deer Island cojio su nombre por un venado que fue a Deer Island cuando estaban coretiendo los lobos. Que raro verdad? A mi me intereso todo esto mucho y si sigues leyendo mi wiki tu vas a aprender mucho mas y a ti te vas a estar interesado tambien!

 * HISTORIA**: Deer Island es bien bello y es un lugar perfecto para ir para un paseo o solo para montar tu bicicleta. Sonidos de pajaros y las olas de la bella mar son escuchados por la playa de Deer Island. Deer Island tiene muchos usos pero lo mas triste de todos fue durante los años 1675- 76. Habia mucho avaricia y etnosentrismo. Los nativos americanos fueron forsados a sufrir en el invierno en Deer Island sin ropa aprpiada, comida, agua o lugar para vivir. En 1847 pusieron un hospital ayi en Deer Island y muchos fueron curadas de sus enfermedades pero tambien muchos murieron. Pero en el año 1938 hubo un huracán que colecto arena del Shirly Gut y hizo un link desde Winthrop hasta Deer Island y hice que Deer Island fuera una **peninsula**. Pero hoy en dia concemos a Deer Island como una planta de tratamiento. Deer Island limpia el agua del sistema de drenaje. Despues la deja ir en el Boston Harbor eso es el razon por la cual es tan limpio en el **puerto**.Es algo muy bueno lo que estan haciendo con Deer Island con su agua porque nadie quiere un **puerto** contaminada y no seguro.


 * GEOGRAFIA FISICA**: Deer Island es 265 acres con bellas **colinas** y arboles en las **praderas**. Deer Island tiene unos **puertos** donde personas pueden ir a pescar y barcos pueden entrar. Tambien hay un **acantilado** bien grande que mi clase tenia que bajar. Su **acantilado** fue bien grande y cubierto de alga(eso le causo que muchos de mi clase callera,haha. El **oceano** atlantico esta alrededor de la **penisula**. La planta de tratamiento es tan grande que puedes ver desde muy muy lejos. Los cosas de la figura de un huevo son unos 150 pies alto de altura que tal eso, huh?


 * GEORAFIA SOCIAL**: Deer Island tiene una geografia muy diversa por sus accidentes naturales. Por ejemplo los acantilados, o la peninsula que paso por causa de un hurracan. Como Deer Island es una isla los inleses pusieron los nativos americanos en esa isla para que no pudieran escapar de los manos de los ingleses.


 * CONCLUCION**: Deer Island es muy interesante y a mi me encanto estudiar su geografia e historia. Es muy facil llegar a deer island por un carro o muchos trenes. Hay mucho que puedes aprender de Deer Island o como yo hice en Deer Island. Mucho e cambiado desde le principio. Primero deer island fue una isla despues una peninsulsa? Wow! Puedes buscar mas informacion aserca de Deer Island aqui en amigos discovers boston's wiki spaces, o en tu biblioteca. Espero que aprendistes algo(o mucho) en mi wiki o en las de mis amigos. Adios!
