Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Hi All,

Here we are at Sound Waters learning more about the Diamondback Terrapin and discovering how we can help preserve them. We are hoping to do all we can this year to raise awareness of the issues associated with the health of the LI Sound. We are also hoping that we can help collect data on, and inform the public about, the great Diamondback Terrapin!

As you will see in the photos, it was a blustery day!



We can't wait to head back to the Cove next month!


Mr. F :-)

Hey mr. Forde it's Brian D. This is my first time blogging so I Wanted to ask do you think that animals centuries from now will evolve from animals of today.

Hey Mr. Forde, is it O.K. if I make the same chart that was on our data sheet for our chia heads? I also forgot how to make a bar graph in Excel. Can you tell me how to? Melissa D.

Boy...I owe a lot of you responses!

Sherene...they were about 6 - 9 inches long. Really cool looking.

Jasmine... it was fun but the weather was miserable! We were soaked by the end of the day. It is a turtle.

Brian... All organisms evolve over time. Those with advantages will reproduce and pass there genes on and those that aren't suited for life don't reproduce and there genes are not passed on. This is how chnages occur over many many generations. This will also occur with turtles also.

Melissa...the same chart is cool

Kim... you can leave out the density column if you would like. I am sure that your graph will be fine. Next time see me with your graph and I'll help you fix it at school. you weren't the only one who faced issues with their data!

Whew...that's alot of typing! Mr. F :-)
