"Who did it this time?" "Not It!"
"Look for Field Sign Damage." Dr. Beusching tells our team as we venture out on yet another adventure - what does this phrase mean to you "Field Sign Damage"?
These photos will give you examples of what is - Field Sign Damage
Evidence A and B
Evidence C and D
Evidence E and F
Scientists are expected to look for field damage as they are working out on the field for a few reasons:
1.To know which animals are active in the area.
2. Depending on a particular season, we will also know the variety of animals in a given season.
3. To accurately know the density or population of the animals.
4. To be aware of the predator and prey relationship in each area.
How did we do this?
1. We were divided into 3 teams in a given specific measured area and dropped of into our assigned areas( think like a survivor, who gets to bring home the most specimen)- this is also called "TO TRANSECT"
2. We walked, walked and walked but kept our eyes open to everything - from tree damage, poop evidence on the ground, burrows, and dens.
3. Eyes open, ears perked, we timed and recorded when we began to everytime we found an "evidence". we kept a log as we invesitgated
4. Any unknown evidence had to be bagged and brought back to Dr. Newman for analysis.
5. Curiousity will always be one of our greatest lifeskill - we investigated down low and up high and found great evidence - but I can only post so many pictures...
You are expected to look closely at these, think, ponder, get your parents to help you!
What do you think these field damage specimens or samples are?
Which animal do you think did this? Post your answers by using my labels - Specimen A is....Try to guess all of my photos!
Good Luck !
Onward we go Boys and Girls!

Field sign damage is when animals clear space or damage space to make there habitats it looks like?-RA
Congratulations, Mrs. Tang!
It is very exciting!
I enjoyed reading your research and blogs.
It has been a while since my family saw you the last time so it was very nice to see you on videos.
I am showing your site to both Julian and Reina after school.
We all miss you so much.
Good luck!

I think specimen A is a dead frog. The evidence is the body structure. It is also a possibility that A is a lizard dragged into a water source by a predator. -HH
i think evidence A is a dead frog. How i figured this out is that it is laying on it's back. Yet, I wonder how it died, maybe it has to do with pollution? - LW :)
I think that evidence..........
A: a dead frog
B: sticks
C: poop
D: a beaver dam
E: a tiny bone w/finger
F: coverings
~ CT
Picture A is what I think is a dead frog. Picture B looks like some sticks that the beavers were munching on. Picture C looks like more than one scat of some kind. Picture D looks like a beavers dam and they may have been involved in picture B. Picture E looks like either some bones or maby bird scat. Picture F I think it looks kind of like fur.-GB
edivence A is a dead frog because where the frog is water so it maust have died because it was old. I wouldn't say it's toad because toad doesn't go to water that much.-D.E
specimen
A)looks like a dead frog floating in a pond
B)it looks like some sticks
C)it looks like a mammal's poop
D)a beaver dam
E)picture with finger
F)covers

HI! I think A looks like a dead frog. I think is a picture B of trees that beaver chopped down. I think C is poo from an animal. I also think D is a view of a dam. I think E is a pic of a bone. Lastly, I think G is a photo of a dead animal body. See u soon-CC
evidence A: dead frog/ evidence B: beaver did it/evidence C:a animal's scat/evidence D: probably a beaver dam/evidence E: a mouse bone/evidence
F: throw up or feathers maybe.-EW
Field Sign damage is environmental damage caused by pollution and Global Warming.
I think Specimen A is a dead frog and Specimen B is many gnawed trees.
Specimen C might be poop or the things on a certain type of tree.
Specimen D is a beaver dam made of sticks and Specimen E is the leftover bones of a prey.
Specimen F is a half eaten fish someone ate.

Are you enjoying the trip?
evidence f must have been bird's nest because I can see the feathers and the egg shell.-DE
I think that picture A is a frog that died. I think that the sticks in picture B was cut down by a beaver to make a dam. I think the scat in picture C is the beavers that made the dam in picture D. I think that the bone in picture E is a bird bone. I think the fethers in picture F is also the birds just like the birds bone in picture E. I think that the bids fethers came from a nest that fell out of a tree.
The Pictures you used were outstanding!!! specimen A is a dead Toad or frog I can't tell. I think specimen B is a habitat for a animal made out of twigs and trees. C I believe is Deer poop. The specimen d could be a beaver dam or a Natural resource used in the forest and it might be used in the winter time. The specimen E, I think it is a bone from a rodent. F I belive is coverings! LOVE THE BLOG AND THE POSTED PICTURES!!! ONCE AGAIN, AWESOME!!!!!!-AD
Mrs.Tang. I think that the pictures were cool.A: is a dead frog,B:is sticks,C: is poop, D: is a beaver dam,E:coverings,F:rocks
-jw
evidence a is a dead frog
b is trees affected by beavers
c is animal scat
d is a dam
e are animal bones
i think in f is where an animal barfed
and i think field sign damage is something abnormal is a habitat
i miss you mt
kf
I think specimen F is a very small animal's bone. I think they are bones of a fish. -HH
I think that evidence A: a dead frog,I think water pollution killed it.
Evidence B: sticks,probably were cut down by someone or damaged by something.
Evidence C:poop, don't now who did it.
Evidence D:a Beaver dam, they did it to have more shelter
Evidence E: a picture with a finger bone, from a small animal.
Evidence F: fish bones.

I think its a frog.
I think it is a Place wear beavers chop on logs .
It is {FERTILE}.
It is a beaver dam.
I think its a bone from a rodent.
a bunch of scat.
SL
I think picture A is a dead frog,C is
trees but cut down by a beaver. Picture D is a dam made by a beaver and E is scat I think.Last F is fallen trees from a storm.RW
I think that field sign damage is when animals make space and shelter in a way that it damages the area. It could also be when animals leave there food's skin, bones and feathers behind like in A, E, and F. Picture B and D are signs of beavers. Picture C is poop.-RA
I think specimen A is a frog that is dead,specimen B are sticks on fire and trees that have been chopped down by beavers, specimen C is rodent poop,D is a beaver dam,E is a finger and two bones, F are fish bones.-AS
Evidence A is an animal in the water that is a frog and got hurt by a pedator trying tom attack it.
Evidence B is what I think are sticks and were hurt by a woodpecker.
Evidence C is poop from a larger animal because of the larger size.
Evidence D is a bever dam that had water that dried up.
Evidence E is a picture of a bone from an animal such as a chipmunk.
Evidence F is a covering that you put traps inside and protects it at night.-JB
Evidence A & B-the dead frog maybe hurt from a storm or a predator attack
Evidence C-the poop/droppings are probably from a large animal because it has a larger size than small mammals' poop and since it is red, the animal who produced it is probably injured
Evidence D-it is a beaver dam that must have been damaged by a different animal and the beavers that live in the dam are probably trying to build a new one
Evidence E-the finger is pointing to a bone of a small mammals
Evidence F- this picture shows that an animal has shed or grown up because of sickness being passed around
-GA...to be continued.........
I think the last one is scat or fish bones.-HH
Mrs. Tang-- You are my hero! Keep up the great investigative work-Jeaneen DVE
When you set your next trap how many animals do you think will be in there? Why? JR
Awesome Millie, i guess everyone's answers are ll similar...GraceDC
Hi Millie, Was the frog killed by another animal or by something in the environment? Julie
A:dead frog
B:eaten sticks
C:poop
D:a beaver dam
E:a tiny bone
F:coverings -KB
