Activity A: Mangrove
i. Describe the soil you are standing on. Do you think the soil is fertile?
The soil is soft, damp and muddy.
No. The soil is covered with seawater, thus it is impossible for the soil to be fertile.
ii. Inference question
a. Root system- Grown in a way to protect the plant from the waves.
Breathing roots.
b.Leaves- Salty. There is a filter system when the leaves absorb the sea water.
Activity B: Headland and bay
Describe the landscape- How do you think this landscpaes is formed?
-The cliff is eroded, overtime, the waves erode the rocks of diffferent resistance; causing the bays and headland to be formed.
2.The city of Kuching
Common similarity between Singapore and Kuching
a. Type of buildings: Both are commercial buildings and a lot of shophouses.
b. Road: Both are wide and smooth. (4 cars can go to and fro at the same time)
Common difference between Singapore and Kuching
a.Transportation: People in Kuching do not observe the traffic rules, but poeple in Singapore observe the traffic rules.
The main transport in Kuching is sea, but the main transport in Singapore is land.
People in Singapore are less patient than people in Kuching.
b.Water: Seawater in Kuching was muddy, but the seawater in Singapore is clean.
What is one highlight about the trip? Why?
The night trail. It is very interesting, educational and refreshing.
We managed to see the green snake which was a less than a few steps away from our grasp.
We managed to learn a lot of survival skills out in the jungle.
We were able to work together as we walked up and down the uneven jungle ground.
What is one learning experience of the trip? Why?
Being flexible.
Many unexpected things happened during the trip. For example, we did not manage to see the bearded pig.
Thanks!

activity Ai: very soft and moist soil. not fertile as plants rarely grow there.activity Aii:root system:flexible so as to endure the strong waves hitting it.
:smooth so as to allow the excess water from the leaves to drip down.
activity B:describe the landscape:cliff, shore platform, cave and potholes.
:the waves hit the rocks through erosion.
pg9
similarities
a. type of buildings:kuching:built using cement and concrete.
:singapore:built using cement and concrete
b. multi-racial:kuching:we can see chinese and malay people in the shops
:singapore:we can see chinese and malay people in the shops
differences
a. transportation:kuching:lesser transport
:singapore:more public transport compared to kuching
b. height of buildings:kuching:short
:singapore:tall
pg12
what is one highlight of the trip?why?
The very relaxing nature,because we cannot see much of nature's beauty in Singapore.
what is one learning experience of the trip?why?
Teamwork. We helped each other in getting to Mount Santubong.

After visiting the Bako National Park, our group thinks the soil there is fertile, as we were able to see many organism living in the soil. As organism dies and decomposes, they become nutrients in the soil and get absorbed by plants or other organism. We saw also saw roots of the mangroves sticking out of the soil. This is to reach out to the oxygen on land as the mangroves grow in mud, which might not have high oxygen concentration. The leaves of the plants in the swamp have a waxy surface as it help the plant to reduce water loss. The leaves taste salty due to them removing the excess salt as the plant takes in sea water. The landscape of the headland, also known as cliffs, has different layers and cracks. This is cause by the erosion of the sea water, which erodes the sand rocks layers by layers. The cracks is form due to plants growing, this contributes to the erosion of rocks too.
The similarities of buildings of Singapore and KuChing are that most of them sell stuffs, they are commercial buildings. The materials used to build the buildings are also similar.
The differences between Singapore and KuChing are that Singapore have trains and buses, SMRT, however, KuChing do not have. Most of the vehicles used by the people in KuChing are motorbikes, bicycle or cars. The roads in KuChing are also narrower compare to the roads in Singapore.
Lastly, the highlight of the trip, and the experience we gained. We think that the highlight of the trip is the walk in the swamp, where we get to look at cliffs, shore plat form. These are the stuffs we never got to see in Singapore. The experience we gained are that during the Mount Santubong Nature Walk, we learn how to survive in the forest, if we ever got lost, and we build up bonds with our friends as we support each another during the walk.
