Deer Island Sea Shore

Hi, my name is Alailla I go to the[|Amigos school]. At my school we speak English and Spanish. I am 11 years old. I my science class we went on a lot of different field trip learning about different ecosystem. We all got to choose what topic the wiki’s are going to be on. I was chosen to do the seashore. My topic relates to my field trip because we were learning about **Producers**, **Consumers**, and **Decomposers** by the sea. By bus we went to[|Deer Island]. When we arrived we had a beautiful view of the sandy beach. When I stepped off the bus there was a cool breeze that smelt like salt water. The sun was playing hide and go seek with the clouds and the big boulders were sticking out from the side of the pathway. We sat on a bench that was on the pathway and were given our paper work. Looking for our Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers. I’d say we looked like real scientist. Some of the tools we used were lupes, eye lenses, identification books, and our science notebook.

The seashore is a wonderful ecosystem to gather rich and fulfilling information. They also have wonderful aquatic animals. In the energy pyramid the sun gives energy to the producers. Three examples of **Producers** are seaweed, algae, and phytoplankton. The producers give energy to the **Primary consumers**. Three examples of primary consumers are isopods, mussel, and clams. They give energy to the **Secondary consumers**, which are crabs, jellies, and skates. They give energy to the **Tertiary consumers**, which are eiders, herons, and dogfish. They are at the top of the Energy Pyramid. That’s how the Energy Pyramid works. Going to the seashore at Deer Island was fun and very interesting I learned about animals I never knew of, Such as eiders. I also learned how to tell the difference between a foreign crab and our native crabs, also that I can do what I want to do if I put my mind to and focus. I got a lot of work done and I also faced my fear of climbing just because I believed. I think we all got something out of this field trip and I would love to go back. Here is a picture of my  Energy Pyramid and Web. Here is the history of Deer Island we did in Social Studies.
