Part A Reflections :

The trip to the Jurong lake park was very fun and enriching. I managed to see so many varieties of plants and animals , I managed to enjoy nature for once in my life. However, I did not manage to see many animals such as squirrels. The last time I went there for the 2.4km run, I spotted many squirrels. However when I went for the biology trip to the park, I did not see any. Also, I noticed people fishing at the jetty. I think that even though people are allowed to fish there, they should not overfish as the fishes in the lake are source of food for some animals living in the park. Overall, the trip to Jurong Lake Park was enjoyable and I would like to go there for more science trips again.

I find that the trip to JurongLakePark was very exciting and fun. We did not managed to find many animals and plants but at least we found organisms and flowers such as eggs of the apple snail, ixora and empty snail shells. It was my first time going to the JurongLakePark to do research for science. I had an enjoyable time.I managed to enjoy with the nature for the first time in my life. The thing i enjoyed most was taking pictures of the amazing plants; I even found a broken coconut with thousands over ants crawling out of it, leading to an anthill. This trip is one of the best nature trips I have ever been too.

Although I did not go for the Jurong Lake Park trip, I managed to get some information about the things in Jurong Lake Park from my group mates.There were construction work in the park,increasing the sound pollution. My group mates told me that the construction work also resulted in trees being cut down to clear space for new things to be build. I feel that the authorities should leave Jurong Lake Park alone, instead of cutting down the trees.Next, my groupmate also showed me pictures of litters in the park. Upon seeing one of the pictures, I felt very angry. The picture showed a 'Bandung' can stuck in the middle of a plant. I remember seeing recycling bins in Jurong Lake Park and the irresponsible person who threw the can should have recycled it. Lastly, they showed me the pictures of the animals, flora and fauna of the park. I was fascinated with the pictures especially the eggs of the apple snail,they amazed me as I never thought that nature could be so beautiful. I really hope that I can have another chance to go for a nature trip again.

It is indeed an eye opening experience to the Jurong lake.I have seen many species of animals that i had not seen before in my life.Examples are the apple snail eggs.It is pink in colour and it is mostly found on rocks.At first i did not know what was that.Until then,my teacher briefly told us that was an apple snail egg.Then,we moved on to the further side of the lake.On the way,we saw alot of litters on the ground.It is a impact to the environment.The park users are really irresponsible .They came to Jurong lake to look at the beautiful scenery but end up littering on the ground.There is enough rubbish bins in Jurong lake,in fact ,along the roads there are more than enough rubbish bin.They just could not take their initiative to throw their rubbish inside.I think that we should not litter on the ground,we,should take the initiative to throw away rubbish after use to save our earth.
