Part A: Introduction of Jurong Lake Park and Reflection

JURONG LAKE PARK

Jurong lake park was built around the perimeter of the lake and work was completed in January 2006. However, the water is noted to be green in colour during dry weather and a murky brown after a downpour, the likely result of runoff from its urban catchment area.Jurong Lake Park is a park for suitable for many leisure activities. Its a big place with clear, fresh air and a strong fauna of flowers. Plenty of sports like jogging, cycling or even taiji for the elders can be conducted there. There is a 2.8 kilometre water promenade along Jurong Lake Park would allow residents to participate in watersports like kayaking, water rafting and fishing can be conducted in the lake.It is also has large range or biodiversity. Variety of organisms can be found, and lives is almost everywhere. Plants and insects has made the park their living habitat. In the midst of having fun, please do not forget to preserve the environment and protect the lives in the park as we are users of the park.

Reflection about the trip

During the trip, we took a couple of photos although we did not find a lot of organisms. Our tasked community is ROCK. Jin ting had to kick and flipped over big rocks to let us take photos but there are only ant colonies on it and we did not spot any bugs. So, we also scanned the park area other than rocks.The photos include some water snails and their pink-coloured eggs. We notice that the snails are always not far away from the rock where their eggs are laid. Hence, came to the conclusion that maybe they are looking after the eggs, making sure that they are safe before it's hatched. We also managed to capture a grasshopper. however, we failed to find any lizards or bigger mammals. The grasshopper is of the same size and colour with the grass, so we encountered difficulties when trying to capture it. Our eyes were not sharp enough hence we didnt find any other organisms. Maybe it is because of the warm weather that some of the animals belonging to the rock community cannot come out. Maybe it was because some of them are only suitable to come out when the weather is more cooling or moist. But the best part of the trip is that, we all had a lot of fun together!!
