Scientific study of rocks and plants
By Alex Tiger
I made a New Year’s resolution over three months ago to try and find a new species of plant or type of rock and so far I’ve found nothing. It’s time to get serious about this. I have decided that I have not been methodical enough in my studies, so I have decided to narrow in on one area at a time and search thoroughly before moving on, keeping meticulous records of where I have searched so far.
I’ve started by cordoning off an area near my house. I have borrowed tools from my dad’s workshop and I am going to carry out my digs with precision and care. I have to collect samples and then clean them off and make note of their properties to compare them to existing records. If I find the characteristics are unique, then I will have discovered a new rock or plant!
I am determined to do this. I just know that I will find something if I look hard enough.
I believe you can do this Alex!!!!!!!!
You can do it, Alex! You’re an INCREDIBLY smart kid (just by reading this article I could tell) and I’m positive that if you don’t give up, you’ll find a new rock and/or plant species soon.
Awwww! That’s very inspirational to see, well okay, ‘hear’ that Alex is stepping up to the plate. I am proud of him! Remember, Alex, you can do all things through Him who gives you strength- Philippians 4:13…. Don’t give up, Alex, strive for you goals. I bet you’ll find a new rock/plant in no time! :D
Alex-the best things are always closest to home…I live in Alaska…so if you can’t find anything you are always welcome to broaden your search and head this way…never know you just might find copper, quartz, granite, or even Gold here…hehehe..keep to the grindstone as they say…;D
It’s amazing what you can find in your own backyard! I found a fossil. Some folks have found artifacts or things from ancient civilizations. One fellow in Australia found a giant gold nugget once! I bet you can find a little meteorite or something, Alex! Good Luck!
I bet you will find something great Alex!
Wow! Is that even Alex talking? So unlike him 2 be serious, but an AWESOME change! U GO, Alex! I am cheering 4 u all the way!!! Ur friend, Earth Day Girl :) :)
Let’s support Alex! If he really wants it, he can do it!
Like my last post, QUOTE “If he really wants it, he can do it!”
People are always finding new plants and animals! Go for it, Alex! All the best! MDIChickadee
Go Alex! [: You could find something.
I don’t think Alex will find a new type of rock or plant, it is hard enough for scientists, and he is no scientist! $$$Smarticles$$$
If you keep working, maybe you will find something! Who knows?– GO ALEX! ;) *The Stargazer*
Alex! I believe in you tiger! ;) Your smart, of course youll find something! Its just that, do you really think youll find something in the back yard? ~KK
I agree with you krystalkat! You can do it! (I did not know what half of the words he used meant…….. LOL)
DONT GIVE UP! If you try HARD enough you might just find something!!!!
Awesome Alex! I like rocks too! Your friend sarahandlacey! :lol: :mrgreen: ;-) :-) :roll:
I do not think he will find anything!!! But anyway, that’s cool and it seems fun! Your true friend, **$**furryhairylion**$**
Smarticles, haven’t you heard stories about people finding fossils in their backyards? Those people weren’t scientists.
Keep your dreams in sight Alex never give up no matter what people say! You can be anything you set your mind to! ANYTHING!!!! ~Mouse42~
