Fish Tank Project
Project Overview:
In this class basically what we did in groups was to choose a research question to carry out our experiment inside our tank. Each group had one, during the time we had we learned how to test the quality of the water, how to clean the tank among other important things to keep a fresh water tank clean. Our research question was How do live plants affect the nitrogen cycle of a freshwater aquarium?, We were testing a lot, the levels of ammonia, nitrate and nitrate.
Field Trip Reflections:
San Diego Zoo:
This was the first field trip we had and it was a nice experience because I had never been to the zoo, when we arrived at the zoo we had to do a scavenger hunt we took pictures with different types of animals and analyzed their behaviors for 3 minutes, on a paper we described their habitat, what they eat and what their physical characteristics were. I learned a lot about the types of animals that are there and why they are different. |
Safari Park:
This was our second field trip, I also had a good time but here we saw more exotic animals that we could not see in the zoo. In the safari we had a laboratory practice that was about reproductive endocrinology where we studied two elephants and they taught us how to micropipette , this was an activity that benefited a lot because if everyone knows how to use this device and know how to handle one, and it gives me a new skill. |
Sea World:
This was the last and without a doubt, it was the best because we had the chance to be behind scenes (behind the tanks) and they explained to us how the tanks worked and what the filtration system consist of, here we learned a lot about the marine animals which It helped a lot for our project that we were carrying out at that time. |

ENVIRONMENTAL Public service announcement project
project overview:
This project was basically to open peoples eyes and make them see what is actually going on in our world and made videos so people could see the impact humans have on earth and how we can change it for the better.
PSA:
|
We made this PSA to show people other alternatives to not contaminate our earth, not using straws or dropping trash in the city or beaches, we want people to be aware of how bad it is to use plastic wrappers and other things.
