What We do In Class

We have done a lot of work in Ms. Lauders class. We were working on a Ecology unit. We studied endangered species, and how to save them. We then created a law, to help protect these animals even more.

My Presentation

My presentation was on the White-Rumped Vulture, a critically endangered species. I spent many hours researching it’s habitat, why it’s endangered, and mitigation measures. I had to find information, then create a law that could protect these vultures. The presentation part was the easiest, as we already put all the information down. This assignment was really fun and interesting, as we get to study a animal we choose.

Reflect

I think I could do better in a few things. I think looking over the criteria would benefit me so I know what to put down. I think also finishing my work earlier would help me so I could have more time to practice presenting. Overall I think I did very well.

 

Owl Pellet Dissection

Something that surprised me during the dissection, was the amount of fur in it. There was a lot of fur, so it was very difficult to find all the bones. When we were putting the bones together I found it was hard to find the right pieces to go in the right spots. I learned that owl diets are full of many kinds of tiny animals. This connects to what we learned, because it’s biology of a animal, and we learned about the skeleton of a rat, helping us with making this skeleton.

This was the assembled skeleton of what we thought to be a pocket gopher.
