In the beginning of second quarter, we looked at some different species of plankton under a microscope. We did a project on single celled organisms and me and Darean foccussed on diatoms. We did various worksheets that were pertinent to the microbial world.
We also made presentations on Google Apps. My presentation was on Red Algae and I had to collect different pieces of information to share with the class about my topic.There are many different types such as Irish Moss and Dulce. These can be found in most tropical areas. They also have the most abundant species of all the other sea weeds. We were divided into pairs and then at the end of the project, we were to share the information and all take the quizzes we had made at the end of our powerpoint.
Currently, we are finishing our websites on invertebrates which are a major part of our grade. Honestly I enjoyed doing this project the most out of everything. Jose and I were assigned the vampire squid and I was partner two who was responsible for the creation of five different pages. I made the distribution page which included different maps and information on where the squid are located. I made an examples page which explained the phylum Mollusca and gave examples of different organisms in this phylum and the things needed to be part of this subdivision. I created a biology page in which I described and showed pictures of the reproductive and nervous systems and also how squid react with certain environmental effects. I made an importance page as well which explained how humans are effected by not only vampire squid, but phylum Mollusca as a whole. Then finally I had a related links page at the end which showed all of the useful links I used to create a successful and informative website.
