Project Investigator: Ilysah Martinez
Project Role:
I am the the head of the group. I make sure to keep everyone in the right flow of our project. I do not have a specific role like the animal behaviorist or the water analyst but I have to know the overview of everything because I help everyone out. I do a little bit of everything. It is up to me to make sure my group and I stay in check and get the work done. I have to be an example to my group mates. I can help my group fail or help them succeed. |
Accomplished Work
Scientific Poster:
For our project we had to make a scientific poster explaining the experiment we are doing for with our freshwater aquarium. In the poster we had to create a layout of what we wanted it to look like. We made multiple drafts and got in critiqued. The poster includes the differences we found in having artificial plants vs. real plants in our aquarium and how it effects the nitrate, nitrite, ph and ammonia levels in our fish tank. We show this through graphs of all the data we collected. We also show our process and hypothesis, null and alternative. The poster was a real challenge for me trying to make everything fit all together. There was so much information so it was hard being able to find a good layout for everything. |
Inventory/Cost sheets:
We had to make sure we knew everything that was in our fish tank so if we needed anything more we would know what go get. We had to find the prices of the exact materials we already had in our tank. Having this made things a lot simpler for us and incase anything ever broke we knew where to find it and how much it cost. This was also a sheet for us to be able to track what new things we need that we didint have. This could be new fish or new plants/decor. For us we wanted to take away the fake plants in our tank and buy new ones which meant we needed to do research for to find good plants that will benefit our tanks and fish. |
