My LEGO Forest Scene

While I was watching a Bill-Nye video on forests, (see post "Science 12.2") I made a lego Forest scene. You would find a forest like this on a Hawaii island or near the equator.

Anime Sketches

These are some of my recent drawings. Drawing is one of my favourite things to do, I do it because it lets me express my feelings and I feel free. Anime is short for animation or animated, and you can see anime on TV or in comics.  I like to draw anime because I can't draw realistic pictures.

Science 12.1 Forestry

 For the next two weeks I will be reading, learning about Forestry.
I will also be posting my questions, answers and a little paragraph of what Ive learned from that section.

1. List the divisions of a tree's stems from largest to smallest.

Limbs, branches, twigs.

2.Contrast spreading branching and spirelike branching.

Spreading branching covers a larger area but stays shorter, while spirelike branching is smaller and taller like a Christmas tree.

3. What characterizes a deciduous tree?

Deciduous trees have different "genders" different trees produce different reproductive parts.

4. Which gymnosperm looks like a palm tree?

Cycads.
