A BLASTASTIC TIME
By: The Judea Montoya and Leah Maher
We started off our morning with a nutritious meal to fuel our brains for all the science we have endured today. We started by joining with our groups and receiving our question "Where does escovopsis grow in the ant colony?" Then we began using the scientific method to conduct an experiment, which involved particle placement-also known as using tweezers to jab particles into agar. They will be in the super fancy room temperature incubator until tomorrow. So check in tomorrow for an update on our fungus. Also on the agenda was a fantabulistic cross word about the immune system.
We had a great lunch and then loaded into the vans to go to the zipline place. While we were there we saw some exotic animals (such as monkeys and sloths) we completed a 12 step course that was fun yet death defying, but we are all alive.
Once we returned, we walked into the village and witnessed their butterfly house which also contained some caterpillars. We walked back and discovered the most extravagant dinner on planet Earth (with a yummy dessert too). After dinner we headed back to the classroom for some stat lessons (we are all on our way to being stat experts fyi). We began to take our data by counting the total amount of bacteria and the different types of bacteria. Then we charted and discussed our findings. And remember all experiments may not be statistically significant but they are all important for our learning.
Love,
Judea and Leah
