researched what plants to get.

bromeliads- These are great for the backround

String of turtles- Also for the backround but can be added anywhere

Pothos- Main plant

Aglaonema, or Chinese Evergreen- main plants

worked on the background.

We added the expanding foam, then added the wood to where we wanted it. then we put the coconut shaving on it to make it look natural

Forget the date

We added the expanding foam and wood to where we wanted it. We opened the coconut shavings but they were really compact. we had to break them apart which took awhile. Once we put the coconut shavings on the outer lawyer of the foam was dry. The next wisrd class we has to scrape the old foam off

Added Silicone to the background. turns out it has to dry.

11/6/24- Ongoing

How to make the background-

Silicone to add grip for the expanding foam. Place cork flats and dust with coconut shavings. Let dry for 24/h

Substrate/soil

Drainage layer covered by a mesh screen, then put the soil on.

Isopods and sprintails make it bio active

leaf litter on the bottom

I am a part of the WISRD stem institute at Wildwood School in LA. I am doing a research project on PEMF therapy and saw you do it with baby seven! I am reaching out to see if you have any articles or information you have that will help with the structure of how to build it, what frequency to use, and if it is safe enough to use on horses without any prior knowledge. I have been around horses since I was little and have gotten into riding for the past 2 years. I currently don't have my horse but I am working with my trainer's horses. My goal is to see the improvement in one of the horses with arthritis and overall just help keep the horses comfortable.

Sincerely,

Skylar Sherman

Today I worked on learning the layout of a PMF Device

Statement of interest, Spring 2024: (from institute application): I am interested in Wisrd because I want to be a vet/vet tech. Being in wisrd I might have a chance to learn about animal sciences. another reason I want to join is I enjoy everything about science and I think I will have a lot of fun at this institute.
