pick any plant What observations did you make about the location where the organisms were observed? (For e.g., temperature, humidity, in areas exposed to sunlight, on plants, etc.) What observations did you make about the appearance and growth of the organisms? (For e.g., color, pigment, morphology, clumping, biofilms, sedimentation, smell, turbidity, texture) Did you find the organism growing on a solid or liquid substrate? find out the nutritional requirements needed for this kind of organism to grow What did you expect to find? Were the results of your investigation congruent with your expectations, if not, how or why? What did you learn? What would you still like to know about protists, fungi or plants in your environment?

Malathion is an organophosphate pesticide that is used often in residential and commercial landscaping. A landscaping company came and applied the pesticide to a lawn and after a couple of days. An environmental science student sampled the soil and analyzed the pesticide content. The student found the soil concentration of malathion to be 6.26 ppm. Assume a soil organic content of 1.5%, a soil particle density of 2.0 mg/L, and a soil porosity of 45%. If it rains the next day and water mixes well with the soil, estimate the concentration of malathion in the soil water.
