Science Night



             Community service at Los Medanos Elementary was an extravagant experience. This gave our group an opportunity to entertain these adorable kids about science. When I arrived, the atmosphere brought back memories to when I was in elementary school, it made me realize how time can pass real fast. However, my group have prepared almost everything, but I managed to organize the dish soap and the vinegar into the small beakers. We were so organized because our group knew what to do, and all of us had that strong friendship which made this more enjoyable. As kids came up and experimented our "Elephant Toothpaste," many kids were amazed due to the fact that as it erupt, the colors kept changing which stood out to them the most. Even though, two or three of us had to keep walking back and forth to the bathroom to clean up the foam and color off the beaks and trays. At least, this was a colorful but messy experiment.
              My group was calm in the beginning, however more kids came all at once which made it difficult for our group to clean off the mess and present them the experiment as fast as we can. Our group struggled but we were all so motivated to do everything we can to entertain the kids, and we did. Since everyone in our group was so committed, we were all cheering for the kids as our experiment worked. Time went by so fast because my group and I got our stuff together and pulled this experiment off perfectly.
               The parents and kids loved our experiment because many of them were so interested about whats inside the "Elephant Toothpaste." For instance, this girl wouldn't leave our station because she loved the beautiful outcomes of the color, In the corner of my eye I can see her mom smiling. On the other hand, each time we continue to experiment with the children, the color became colors we never expected which surprised us.
            I would totally experience this over again, I can't explain how much fun this was to me. People were telling me how I have good relationships with kids, I can agree with them because I love to make kids smile and laugh. That's always my main goal. In addition, our group learned new ways to make our experiment the best it can be. Instead of putting vinegar first, we put that last, making our eruption faster and more entertaining. Lastly, I noticed how our group learned to work patiently and companionly when being rushed, which made everything more better.

Population: 1000

Step 1: The given q2 is .853
q2= .853
Step 2: Find the square root of .853 which is .924
q= .924
Step 3: P + Q = 1
p=.077
Step 4: Find the square of .077 which led to .005
p2=.005
Step 5: Multiply 2(.077)(.923)= .14
2pq= .14
Step 6: Multiply q2 , 2pq and p2 by 1000

  •  2pq = .14 x 1000 = 140 

This illustrates the heterozygous individual.


  • q2 = .853 x 1000 = 853

This represents the homozygous recessive.


  • p2 = .005 x 1000 = 5

 This result in the homozygous dominant individual.

The Effect From The BlackWorm Pulse

For this experiment my group and I had discovered which black worm had the stimulant, depressant, and Neutral. The method I use to get the main result is by using the mean. I included most of the data we discussed as a classroom. It seems that Container A had the stimulant because I believed that the worms heart rate probably accelerated due to the light when my group and I were looking through the microscope. The average pulse for A was 32 pulse in a minute. Container B was depressant probably due to the shock how they had to stay in a small area. The result was 27 pulse in a minute. Lastly, Container C was neutral because it didn't effect the worms and was consistent. Therefore I came to conclusion that it was 30 pulse in a minute.

Biology Selfies




Flowers
    When I took my dog out for a walk, I remember that I needed to search for Flowers for my assignment, So then I found flowers few houses from me that were really pretty. However, it was awkward because my neighbors were watching me take this picture. It was a weird experience.

Commensalism
    I went to Six Flags and I saw a cute elephant and her name was Bella. I was so excited cause I never rode on an elephant before. As I got on top, she was walking around and it was a fantastic view cause she was baby elephant. But at the end, I told my mom to take a picture. It was a great experience at Six Flags.

      I went to my friends house to hang out. I saw her puppy Trible, He is so adorable and small. Then I was playing with his paws and making him dance. As you can see in the picture, he looks terrified from me. I love dogs so much it was definitely a good experience.
