Animal+Research+Project

//We will use this wiki page to update the events that are occuring for our animal research project. Throughout the project we will be collaborating with animal experts and specialists to help us to learn about our chosen animal. Eventually, we will synthesize our research information into research papers. //

9/22/09 Mr. Lowder, our local scientist, visited our classroom today. We have learned a lot about animal behaviors and adaptations. We have also learned about the specialists who will be helping us to learn. We have access to specialists who work closely with different groups of animals. Here are the different types of experts:

birds-Brittany (Golden Eagle), Alexa (California Condor), Megan (Bald Eagle), Megan (Red Robin), Haley (Zebra Finch)

fish- Seth (Northern Pike), Declan (salmon)  mammals- Sollie (giraffe), Timothy (Jack Rabbit), Rachel (dolphin), Matthew (rhinoceros), Landon (oragutan), Noah (kangaroo), Shelby (Killer Whale)

parasites- Hannah (tapeworm), Matthew K. (tapeworm)

arachnids and insects- Bree (Chinese Mantid), Tanner (Emperor Scorpion)

reptiles- Cassie (Poison Dart Frog), Jacob (King Cobra), Landon (Copperhead), Cortney (Snapping Turtle)

We are very much looking forward to our projects and learning more about our animals. We hope to become a novice specialist ourselves about the animals that we are studying. We are very appreciative of the specialists and experts who have agreed to collaborate with us!
