Biology and Environmental Science
Project Overview
In Biology, we've conducted experiments on our assigned tank by collecting data and creating scientific posters in order to exhibit in the Birch Aquarium. We have also been learning about the water quality and water chemistry of a tank. As well as understanding the behavior and requirements in order to take care of your fish.

Biology Field Trip Experiences
San Diego Zoo
We traveled to the San Diego Zoo and completed a photo scavenger hunt within a group. This activity corresponds with our lectures in Biology class.
When we went to the zoo, I was especially excited to see the polar bears. I enjoyed every minute of the trip since it's been a long time since I went to the zoo! The elephants were active and spontaneous with their movements. One of them was taking a bath. The experience was well worth the warm weather.

Safari Park
Our field trip consisted of filling out a scavenger hunt and having the privilege to see the lab of those who worked at the Safari Park.
This field trip was a mind blowing experience! I enjoyed the lab because of the test we ran on our non-hormonal elephant who got mostly the same results. The weather was nice and so was the amount of people present that early in the morning. We basically had the whole park to ourselves.

SeaWorld
Not only did we get to explore SeaWorld but we had a tour guide that showed us behind the scenes.
Reflecting upon the past, this trip was super fun because of the tour guide and her enthusiasm towards the place she was working at. I also enjoyed the touch pools that contain dead flesh eating fish that tickle your hand when you put them into the pools.

Birch Aquarium
We dissected a squid at the aquarium. We learned about marine animals and the anatomy of the squid. After, we watched presentations from connects that Ms. Lesley knew. One was experienced with turtles, another with sharks. Then, we got to see the inside of the aquarium.
I had a fun time at Birch Aquarium. I loved the tanks they exhibited because you can see their effort and love toward the animals. The touch pool that had a sea cucumber was my favorite so far. I never expected them to feel to smooth and fleshy.
