Mini Dialogue.
Fill the blank with the words provided for you in the box.
Emily: Hi Jake, have you heard about the new environmental science project?
Jake: Yes, I have. I think it's about studying local biodiversity, right?
Emily: That's correct. Our professor wants us to research the biodiversity in a nearby
forest.
Jake: Sounds interesting. Where do we start?
Emily: Well, first, we collect data on the various plant and animal species ecosystem in
the forest.
Jake: How do we do that?
Emily: We use field guides and observation. We go into the forest, observe, and
document what we see.
Jake: That sounds like fun. When should we go to the forest?
Emily: We're going tomorrow morning. The weather forecast says it'll be
sunny. Jake: Great, I'll make sure to bring my binoculars and a notebook.
Emily: Perfect. We also need to measure environmental factors like temperature,
humidity, and soil
composition.
Jake: I'll bring a thermometer and a moisture meter.
Emily: Excellent. And don't forget to wear comfortable clothing and boots
Jake: Got it. I'll be prepared. What's the next step after data collection?
Emily: We'll analyze the data, create reports, and make recommendations for conserving
the
forest's biodiversity.
Jake: I'm excited about this project. It sems like a hands-on way to learn about
environmental science.
Emily: I agree. It's essential to apply what we learn in the classroom to real-life
situations.
Jake: And it's our responsibility to protect and preserve these natural habitats.
Emily: Absolutely, Jake. Let's make the most of this opportunity to contribute to the field
of
environmental science.
