1. Tilapia live in holes with coral on either side. 2. We saw indigenous fish, or fish that are only found in San Marcus. 3. It takes 50 years to determine if something is extinct, or it can't be seen for 50 years. 4. There are 7 main springs, but over 200 different high or low springs. 5. The blind salamander and eel live in the sand. They use clear beads to trick them so we can still see them. 6. Water straight from the springs is 3x cleaner than tap water. 7. There are 150 year old trees at the bottom of the spring from when they were expanding the spring, and they fell in. They are slowly growing petrified because of all the calcium. 8.

Carbon Cycle Facts* By: Ashley M. & Mia R. ​


 * Carbon becomes dissolved in water. (e.g oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams)
 * Organisms use carbon for photosynthesis
 * Plants also use CO2 for photosynthesis
 * When plants burn up in a forest fire, they release CO2 into the atmosphere, the same with volcanoes
 * Photosynthesis is when the sun changes CO2 and water into sugar and oxygen
 * CO2 atoms are used to build sugar
 * Plants that use photosynthesis are called autotrophs
 * Animals and plants that can't photosynthesize are called heterotrophs
