Disectioooon!!!!
During the disection project we learned a lot about the animals bodies we where disecting before we doseted them. I learned a lot about me fetal pig with Bryce Ward, and learned their anatomy is a lot like humans.
CSI Project Reflection!!
In our CSI project, Bryce Ward and I were searching for clues about the murder of a local teen named Nathan. His remains were found in the woods after sitting there for somewhere around 3 years. It was confirmed by others that Nathan had suffered a gunshot to the head, which was the cause of death. We narowed down the list of suspects to 2, his stepdad and a prisoner in a local facility. Blood was found under the nails an we used it to test nuclear DNA and see if it matched up with one of the suspects but it didn't so the case went cold.
The most interesting thing in this project for me was the blood typing because I thought it was easy and fun. I was semi-engaged in this project there were times I wasn't paying attention to the class work. Bryce and I colaberated well and worked good with eachother. It was fun and we managed to even out the work load well I think.

Monkey Meal Plan
NUKE N’ PUKE!!!
Ingredients:
· Microwavable bacon (25 slices)
· Peaches (10)
· Sugar free jello (30 servings [1/2 cups])
· 50 2oz. cups
· Paper towels
· 1-2 plates
Directions:
1. Add warm water to jello mix and place in a refrigerator for 2ish hours.
2. Around 20 minutes until the jello is done, cut the microwavable bacon into half’s and bake them in the microwave on a paper towel for 5-7 minutes for about every 12 pieces of cut bacon. When the bacon is done put it on a plate to cool for about ten minutes.
3. Pull the jello out of the fridge and divide into 1/8ths of a cup.
4. Place the 1/8 of a cup of jello into each 2oz. cup.
5. Slice the peaches into 5ths.
6. Put 1 peach 5th into each cup and do the same with the microwavable bacon halves.
7. Wala! You have a Semi healthy Nuke ‘N Puke recipe for 50 monkeys!!!

The story was about an old shepheard corpse that was found in the Alps of Italy by German hikers. After further research was commenced, they found out the body was over 5,300 years old, and that the Cause of Death was that the shepheard was murdered.

DNS Paper
Durango Nature studies Habitat Assessment
2013
JJ Joyce
Executive summary
One of Durango Nature studies was to keep track and keep a stable environment for native species. In order to complete this task they asked students of AhS to examine the population of the native leopard frog(Rana Pipiens) and non-native bullfrog(Rana Catesbeiana). AhS students also frolicked in the water and found the quality of it in the pond and river for DNS purposes.
Species overview
Rana Pippiens (Northern Leopard frog)
It is 2-4 inches in length. They are found mostly in southern Canada and Northern U.S. but is also found in the four corners area branching out through Nevada. The Northern Leopard likes marsh, ponds, fields, or at the edge of water where it can easily escape from predators. They are opportunistic feeders which means they eat just about anything though mainly insects. They are also known to eat birds, snakes, and other small frogs. The northern leopard frog hibernates in the mud of a pond or stream in the winter (somewhere the water won’t completely freeze over). Breeding season runs from March to June. The females can lay an astonishing 5,000 eggs! Right now the status of the species is of “state special concern”. The predators or threats of the frogs include the great blue heron, burrowing owl, northern water snake, and western terrestrial garter snake.
Rana Catesbeiana (Bullfrog)
The Rana Catesbeiana is a bullfrog. The size is 6 inches large for the male and 61/2 inches for the female (roughly). They are the largest frog in North America.
Results
From the data collected, conclusions have been made on water quality in the DNS pond and Florida river. The phosphate level was 5ppm for the river and 4ppm for the pond, this is classified as high. The nitrate level in the pond was 1ppm and 2ppm in the river which is classified as normal. Dissolved oxygen for the pond was 7.5mg/l which is normal. The dissolved oxygen water in the river was inconclusive. Coliform was positive in both the pond and the river. The pH levels for the river and pond where both 8, qualifying as alkaline.
leopard frogs found for all classes were 6 and 0 bull frogs. The average amount of macro invertebrates in the pond where nine. The average amount of macro invertebrates in the river was 26. Based on the from the macro invertebrates survey of the river, the Shannon-Weiner index was calculated to be 1.41, which suggest adequate diversity. Based on the data from veg-plot surveys, the Shannon-weiner diversity index was calculated to be 1.3, which suggests adequate diversity.

I was not super happy with my final paper. Some elements where missing and it wasn't quite as nice as I'd have liked it.
