LGS+Week+8+(Mar+3-7)

Monday

Today, Katie fed the fish their breakfast, I fed them their 8th period lunch, and then they ate again during 10th period. Because we are just returning from a weekend, there was no brine shrimp hatchery ready and so the fish were fed with tetramin. Yum! The fish set up in the breeding tanks failed to breed. We suppose it is because of the temperature of the water. We can not fit a heater //inside// the breeding tanks because they are too small and so the water drops to room temperature. Not good. So we have a plan! Our next breeding endeavor, we will place the breeding tanks inside the incubator to keep the water warm and the fish smiling (or perhaps more importantly, breeding). All the fish we got from James are alive and swell. We haven't had any problems!

Tuesday

Once again, Katie fed our fish breakfast, I fed them 8th period lunch, and they aete again 10th period. The breeding tanks that we set up the day before failed to give us any babies. In fact the fish didn't even drop any eggs whatsoever. Curious... I filled each tank up because they were getting rather low. I also continued filling the second reservoir we started to store water in case of emergencies or special situations (leaks and so on). To finish off the day, I wrote Mrs. Brunner an e-mail to set up a meeting to discuss Projecy BioEyes. Woohoo! I requested the meeting for tomorrow during 10th period.

Wednesday

Katie went on a college visit :( I fed the fishies 8th and 10th. Mrs. Brunner, prompt as usual, came into the lab at the beginning of the period to talk about BioEyes. I had pulled up the website and knew my way around it quite well. She asked me to print out the curriculum for the 'Advanced Agent' which is intended to suit 10th graders. I spent the remainder of the period in her classroom (Rm. 308 B) trying to download and print the curriculum. For some reason, I was able to download the PDF file but I wasn't able to print it. Mrs. B had a meeting with a microscope guy so when the bell rang, I left the file up on the screen and a post-it note on the computer explaining that I wasn't able to print it out. I plan on trying again tomorrow...

Thursday

Katie is sick at home :( I fed the fishies 8th and 10th then I spent the day in the computer lab in the art wing. A few of our classmates were giving presentations to prepare for the science fair. I took notes and gave them a few tips on how to improve their slides. They were swell! That took the entire class period but I did have time at the beginning of class to FINALLY print out the curriculum for Mrs. Brunner. Woohoo!

Friday

Katie is back :)!! We fed the fishies breakfast, lunch, and meal #3 and then headed down to the computer lab. O before we went, I dropped off the Advanced Agent curriculum I had printed out for Mrs. Brunner. I put it on her desk in her classroom. Down to the lab we went! I spent the remainder of the day checking out the BioEyes website. It's pretty awesome!
