This week we spent 3 days dissecting both worms and frogs, Robin didn't favor either one. However, I found the experience to be interesting and incredibly smelly. The fact that Robin was quite afraid of the small insides of  the frog specimen allowed me to be head conductor in the dissection. After beginning the project and making the first cut the rest came very easily.

I created a blog called icollected30plusleaves.blogspot.com for the collection  project. Leaf Blog

This week in biology I failed a very simple quiz on Euglena, Amoeba and  paramecium. I made a 30 and I believe this is due to the lack of mango naked juice in my life at the time. The rest of the week I spent trying to get over the fact that I made a 50 on a fairly simple quiz. it was really lame, so I napped about it.

In Biology class we are have created an Earth Day project where we take a Country and do research to see if they are an Earth Destroyer or Earth Healer. Based on our research we all agree that Russia is an Earth Destroyer. Their air and water is very polluted. The air is hard to breathe and almost half of their water is not drinkable. Below are the links of our presentation.

On Monday I made the statement: " folks are getting shorter by generations". This is because I once watched  Morgan Freeman explain this on Discovery Channel. However, I have discovered that I am wrong.

This week in honors biology we had a project to do concerning a creative portrayal of all of the topics we have discussed in this unit. We also created an illustrative projection of future humans in 4012. They were far from realistic, but the project was fun. Also, I'm doing many of the blog assignments and updates that I did not do when assigned. Which is lame on my part.
