Introduction
The idea of this project is for us to experience nature. The site visit
allow us to be part of nature to observe and collect information. We
are asked to collect the 5 senses during the site visit to enhance our
feeling into the nature. We will have to represent our findings and
information as an Infographic Poster and our experience through a
documentary video.

The Plant
I found and decided to use Bamboo as
the species to explore, investigate and
research.
In this draft note, I have recorded the 5
senses, the observation and the place I
found on my site.
After my research and matching with the
Bamboo species list, I am sure that this
Bamboo species name, Bengal
Bamboo.

The Animal
This is the first animal I found at our site.
Looks like a lizard. I decided to use
this as one of my investigation and
research topic.
The draft note recorded the image of the
animal, and 5 sense. By observing the
animal, I recorded down how it looks
like and the obvious characteristic, to
make sure that I could find out the
name of species afterwards.

similar characteristic matched with
this online research.

named, AGAMIDAE, which the
species name is Aphaniotis fusca.

The Animal
This is the second or maybe the last animal
I found at our site. Looks like a lizard too.
But it was too far away and did not stay
for long, I could not get much of
information by just observe.
The draft note recorded the image of the
animal, and 5 sense. By observing the
animal, I recorded down how it looks like
and the obvious characteristic, to make
sure that I could find out the name of
species afterwards.
