Water Quality Project:
For this project, we chose to be in one of three teams, water quality, paintball Air soft project, or paint project. I chose to be in the water quality team, the quality team focused on learning/researching about trout there relationship water quality. For this project we designed experiments. The experiments were research water quality in San Diego, how water quality affects the rainbow trout, or how plants affect the quality, just to name a few experiments.
The first thing we had to do to start writing our Experimental Design was come up with our Scientific Question, my Scientific Question was How would the Zebra Danio be damaged if the pH levels ranged from 6.5 to 8? After that, we wrote our Experiment Outline in which we described our experiment. Other sections that our Experimental Design consisted of our list of materials, Experiment Schedule, Report by Students or Professional, Who needs your data?, How are you going to present your data?
To display our experiment we made a scientific poster, that is in the image below.

Lab Notebook Reflection:
How well does this page show your ability to organize your work?
This page shows that I color code my notes so they are easier to understand for me. In this page I write in green all of the numbers and important information/ formulas. I also keep the the questions in black and write down the answers in pencil. How well do you take notes? I think I take notes decently, I feel like I write down all of the important things but sometimes I might write down unnecessary information. Taking a Palomar course over the summer really helped me improve on my note taking skills because It helped me realize how much a professor can say in a two hour lecture. How can you be more organized? I think I can be more organized if I was able to develop more efficient color coding techniques. Like for example write formulas in a specific color and write examples in a specific color. Like make sure every part has its own color. Or perhaps I can use a specific note taking method. How well do you keep track of your assignments? I am pretty good with being organized and my lab notebook is pretty organized, So I am always able to find my assignments and turn them in on time and looking neat. |
