This plant requires fertilizer, a healthy ph level, sunlight and water in order to thrive in its living conditions. It adds a natural aesthetic to the living space too! #apesland @franklinlorax

@Madison2024APES @franklinlorax My groups soil had too much NaCl!

[Madison Lower @Madison2024APES]

In class we created our own soil that would successfully grow a radish. My group learned that the reason our radish wasn’t growing was due to the amount of peat moss we added. Our amount was too high, which soaked in too much moisture. #apesland @franklinlorax

#apesland @franklinlorax in this picture it shows many different types of land. There is a clear down hill that leads to an area where water could build up. There is also some stone in order to hold things from falling down onto the path.

[aylarathke @aylarathke1]

@hcgunn18 @franklinlorax Wow lots of different types of rocks and soil!

@LaurenClorax @franklinlorax My car is also pretty fuel efficient which helps to reduce the amount of carbon emissions in the air!

[Lauren Capstran @LaurenClorax]

I drive a Honda Civic which is a pretty fuel efficient car. With the population growing everyday, limiting our gas consumption would help lower our ecological footprint @franklinlorax #apespop

[Ava Kramer @avalorax]

By carpooling to and from games during our tournament we limit the amount of gas emissions we use! This allows us to make our ecological footprint smaller! @franklinlorax #apespop

[aylarathke @aylarathke1]

@avalorax @franklinlorax I also carpool with my friends many times in order to reduce my ecological footprint!

[aylarathke @aylarathke1]

This is Mali! She is one of the 8 billion people on Earth. Since she is only 10 and can’t drive, she helps to reduce the carbon emissions in the air! @franklinlorax #apespop

@emilylauerAPES @franklinlorax my dog is also a k-strategist, so cool!

[Emily Lauer @emilylauerAPES]

This is Molly. She is a K-strategist species because she reproduces a smaller offspring, as well as has a long life expectancy. #apesecology @franklinlorax

[aylarathke @aylarathke1]

@LaurenClorax @franklinlorax My dog is also considered a K-Species!!

[Lauren Capstran @LaurenClorax]

This is my dog Cal! Dogs are considered K-species because they have a litter with few offspring when born and are taken care of by their mothers #apesecology @franklinlorax

[aylarathke @aylarathke1]

This is my dog Marley! She is considered a K-selected strategist because she tends to produce just a few offspring! #apesecology @franklinlorax

@meaux_natalie @franklinlorax Water towers pressurize water for distribution! One important part of how we get our clean water is due to water treatment plants.

[Natalie Meaux @meaux_natalie]

I visited the Oak Creek Water and Sewer Facility where I learned about the process of water and how it goes from dirty Lake Michigan water to clean, drinkable water that we use daily. This is a tower that water gets stored in! #apeswater @franklinlorax

[aylarathke @aylarathke1]

@emilylauerAPES @franklinlorax water treatment plants are a very important aspect in making sure our water is filtrated in order to have clean water!

[Emily Lauer @emilylauerAPES]

When washing my hands the water I use gets sent to the water filtration facility to be filtered, cleaned, and reused! #apeswater @franklinlorax

[aylarathke @aylarathke1]

forgot to put my lorax card

[aylarathke @aylarathke1]

plastic one time use bottles are harmful to the environment! when not disposed properly they end up getting carried by runoff into bodies of water, harming aquatic life. they can also enter sewer systems, contaminating the water that we drink! #apeswater @franklinlorax
