Day+3+Observations

//(My observations are on animal life in the tide pools)// Free Journal Entry #3: 1. Well, as you can see from these two pictures, today was very high tide in the tide pools. 2. When looking at the many miniature ecosystems and homes to the fish and creatures, I could see that there weren’t a lot of them today. The high tide made them hide within the holes, rocks and crevices so they wouldn’t get sucked back into the ocean. 3. Another thing that I saw was some rocks that were blocking other living spaces for the seas creatures to live in. 4. I would also like to make an inference about how some of the fish get food and how some of them might not get any food-"I think that the fish who live in the tide pools closer to the ocean line get more food then the fish that live in tide pools high up by the cliffs and large rocks." [Because it's hard for them to go down to the ocean to find food like other animal remnants. 5. Three testable hypotheses: 6. The only sea creatures that I could see today were a few fishes--- [[image:CCCCC.jpg width="327" height="224"]]
 * Day 3 Observations:**
 * If I put food in the higher tide pools (myself) then they'll get the same amount of food supply that the fish in the lower tide pools get because it's harder for them to retrieve food unlike the fish in the lower tide pools.
 * If I observe both the low and high tide pools with giving the other one food then I can see which one will survive better because I won't be interfering with there natural instincts (stages).
 * If I go to the tide pools and watch the fishes eating habits in both type of tide pools then I can see which one can find more food then the other one because I can observe them in their natural habitat.

Assigned Journal Entry #3: 1. Describe some of the environmental pressures that could be driving Natural Selection in your eco-zone: An environmental pressure that could be driving Natural Selection in my eco-zone would probably be the fish and there mating habits, fish can produce more fish than any other sea creature in the tide pools. They make up to 400-500 babies at one time, isn't that a lot! They have the ability to survive longer and produce more off spring then others.......(The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution).
