Lake Jackson

The most interesting lake to me is Jackson lake. I have grown up going to this lake with my good friends doing many fun activities on the water. The fun activities we do are; water skiing, tubing, wake boarding, bridge jumping, and even fishing. The Ocmulgee River starts at this lake and goes through Macon. A good thing about this lake is it has clear water which is another reason why I like going there. The water sports are what most people from around Georgia go to this lake for. Also the fishing is great during spring through fall seasons as well. 

Blood Sugar Response

The more sugar one intakes during a certain period of time will effect how the human body will respond. For example if you drink a sprite or eat a candy bar it will take around fifteen  to twenty  minutes for your blood sugar to go sky high. This is caused by the amount of insulin produced in your body. The liver turns the sugar into fat and then the caffeine is absorbed causing your blood pressure to rise, and the liver pumps more sugar into your bloodstream. Your body does its best to burn the rest of the sugar in your system as well. It will take you about forty to forty-five minutes to come back down to your normal blood sugar rate. 

Lab Report #4

My Favorite type of soil is the Histosol. I find this soil the most interesting because it is made up of organic compounds. These compounds are made from decomposed animals and plants. This is also where organic carbon can be found as well. The longer and more accumulations of decomposed matter in this soil is when coal will begin to form. Most histosols are found in Canada, Scandanavia, New Guinea, and even the swamps of Florida.

Community Gardens are becoming a popular activity for people in urban areas. These gardens are tend to by people in the community, and they take part to help promote a food system. The community garden we went to is a non profit organization gardened by people from Mercer and other neighbors. This is a great way for people to come together and help the community. http://www.maconroots.org/
