![]() Her dad's captain hat sits so proudly on the boat's dash. This boat is all original and Karen has the boat's original order form, invoice, service manuals, prop, fenders, hand spot light, ladder and water skies that her dad used. Her dad became a Chris Craft dealer in 1956 and Karen has his original franchise certificate. This boat was purchased new in February of 1957 by Karen's late parents, Robert and Maxine Birch, of Griggsville, IL. Dick died while driving Boat #1, shortly after responding to a rescue call on Geneva Lake's north shore.ġ957 Chris Craft Continental - 'Birchwood' (Dick) Scherff, who was Operations Director for the Patrol for 22 years starting in the 1950's. Wooden boat enthusiasts have come from all over to see Boat #1, and most of them will tell you, "It's a masterpiece." It is by far the most asked about boat in the fleet. The current set of engines is the third set since the boat was first built. The result was a very strong, durable boat with beautiful lines, but the ultimate in practicality.īoat #1 turns 45 years old in 2010, and is regarded by many as one of the best-built boats of its kind anywhere. The modifications included a beefed-up, double-hull design with 3/4" planking (instead of 1/4" or 1/2"), extra rib supports throughout the hull, reinforced ribs and joists at stress points, and twin-engine configuration. Often confused for a Hacker Craft, Boat #1 was custom designed by Budych who based the plans on a Hacker, but then modified them to meet the needs of the Patrol including the stresses and hard pounding that would be required for Patrol work. This classic wooden boat is the perfect blend of tradition and modern practicality. General Information: Boat #1, known as the "Flagship of the Fleet," was custom built by local boat builder Bill Budych with assistance from Dude Assman, specifically for the Water Safety Patrol. 1965 John Hacker Design Custom Runabout - 'Richard W.

![]() A bird or other animal with webbed feet specifically a duck. Johnson.īirdNote’s theme was composed and played by Nancy Rumbel and John Kessler. noun 1A foot with webbed toes a webbed foot. Gadwalls, Canada Geese, and Mallard recorded by T. Today’s show brought to you by the Bobolink Foundation.īird sounds provided by The Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, New York. It’s clear that webbed feet have been a big evolutionary hit. And a parallel adaptation shows up in other creatures that spend time in the water-like otters, frogs and salamanders. For instance, my dog Ralph, a Staffy mix, has lovely, soft, pink skin between her white toes. Totipalmate: all four digits (14) are joined by webbing. Found in ducks, geese and swans, gulls and terns, and. A bird may lift its foot away from its body on the forward stroke, actually giving itself a little extra lift and speed.įour hundred different species of birds have webbed feet. Most dogs have some webbing on their feet. The webbed or palmated feet of birds can be categorized into several types: Palmate: only the anterior digits (24) are joined by webbing. And many birds have mastered a stroke that any human swimmer might envy. Then as the bird pulls its foot forward, the toes fold together, to minimize resistance.

Webbed Dog Paws 101: Why Do Some Dogs Have Webbed Feet The webbing of a dogs paws is a membrane of connective tissue and skin between the dogs toes. The toes and webs spread out as the bird pushes its foot backward. In fact, they’re such a nifty adaptation that they evolved, independently, in several bird groups.ĭucks and geese have them, as do gulls, cormorants, loons, pelicans, penguins, puffins and boobies.Įxperiments suggest that a triangular webbed foot is beautifully designed to propel a bird, or other creature, through the water. Webbed feet are ideal for birds that swim, on the water’s surface or under. ![]() Cup 5 had a leaf disk floating when the observation began and another rose at 15 and 19 minutes. It had a total of 2 leaf disks floating at the end of 20 minutes. Cup 4 had one leaf disk rise at 17 minutes and another at 20 minutes. ![]() Cup 3 had one leaf disk rise at 18 minutes. Cup 2 had one leaf disk rise at 17 minutes. Our data shows that Cup 1, didn't have any leaf disks rise in the 20 minutes that we observed. This data is taken over an interval of 20 minutes. Use a timer and record how many leaf disks rise each minute and how long it takes for all five to rise.Once they sink, put them back into the original cup and place them in the front of the light.Place your finger over the end of the syringe and pull to create a vacuum.Use the syringe to take in 5cc of the solution in the first cup.Put 5 leaf disks in the syringe and push down until there is no space, but do not crush them.Punch out 30 disks from the spinach leaves, allotting 5 disks to each cup.Measure out 2.5 grams of baking soda and mix it into the sixth cup.Measure out 2.0 grams of baking soda and mix it into the fifth cup. ![]() Measure out 1.5 grams of baking soda and mix it into the fourth cup.Measure out 1.0 grams of baking soda and mix it into the third cup.Measure out 0.5 grams of baking soda and mix it into the second cup using the stirring rod.The first cup will be the control place the paper towel under all six cups and label them from 1 to 6. ![]() This could have affected our total data for the non Sodium Bicarbonate cup, which based on our results I believe it did just that. Also the use of the syringe to remove all the oxygen for the leafs was not the easiest thing to do and caused time lost as our group had to redo one of our cups. With this experiment there were quite a few area of possible error, mainly (as with the others) the number of trial is practically nonexistent with only one trial. This makes logical sense seeing as this gives the cup more Carbon Dioxide to use in photosynthesis. This data support the hypothesis that the cup of leafs with the Sodium Bicarbonate will have the greater amount of leafs to rise to the surface. This makes sense as the Carbon Dioxide allows for the plant leaves to go through photosynthesis and produce Oxygen which in turn makes the leafs float up to the surface. This experiment was only preformed with a single trail, implicating a greater region of error.Ĭonclusion: The graphical representation above show how the cup with the leafs that had the Sodium bicarbonate, which gave Carbon Dioxide for the plant to use, was able to produce Oxygen more than the one without any. The control for this experiment is the third cup which is just water, which will do nothing.Ĭonstants: Water, cups, spinach leafs, Baking Soda, light source, etc The method of measuring this is by counting the number of leafs every minute for 15 minutes. Method for Measuring Changes in the Dependent variable The Dependent Variable for this experiment is the amount of leafs that rise to the top of the cup of water. The levels are the same as the Independent variables as it is if the cup has Sodium Bicarbonate or not. The Independent variable for this experiment is whether the cups have the Sodium Bicarbonate in it or not. Hypothesis: The hypothesis of the collected group is that the cup with the Sodium Bicarbonate will produce more leafs that raise to the surface as this cup will have more carbon dioxide resulting in more photosynthesis. So when the leafs go through photosynthesis then the produced oxygen will make the leafs float to the surface, meaning the leafs are going through photosynthesis. This is the experiment because the one of the two tested cup with have baking soda in it which is Sodium Bicarbonate, which will produce Carbon Dioxide, which is need for photosynthesis. Purpose: The purpose of the Spinach Leaf photosynthesis is to measure the amount of how many leafs will go through photosynthesis in water. This shows how plants like spinach can hold there produce oxygen in the leafs which gives them there floating properties. Intro: This experiment is aimed to how plants use there crucial elements of Carbon Dioxide in photosynthesis. |
