Animal Mania!

Hey guys! We're back! This time, we'll be making a post about ............ ANIMALS! (Obvious title, right?) In here, all four of us will be sharing our experiences and reflections from our third quarter ceo, which was to research individually on a specific type of either a class, kingdom, or phylum. 

First of all, we would like to give a brief description on what our third quarter ceo was all about. 

Like we said before, it was to research on a specific type of either a class, kingdom or phylum. In this case, Reisa reported on Phylum Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals, etc.), Gobs reported on Kingdom Protista (amoeba, paramecium, etc.), Khaim reported on Class Reptilia and Amphibia (snakes, salamanders, etc.) and Margot reported on Phylum Molluska (snails, squids, etc.)

We had to research on our topic's nutrition, reproduction, etymology, characteristics, examples, and more. Upon researching on that, each of us made a handout about it, a powerpoint, and a ten-point quiz. And when the day came when we were assigned to report, we used our powerpoint presentation to report and we gave out our photocopied handouts for the class to keep.

So there! Each one of us had a lot of preparations to make, from researching to listing down important stuff to reporting. We made our quiz, handout and powerpoint and submitted the three to T. Rye or The Urban Guru. We also practiced our reports at home, so that we would be prepared.

Some of us did encounter some problems while researching, however. We encountered problems like misunderstanding T. Rye's or The Urban Guru's comments about focusing more on the subgroups of our topics, and unfortunately this problem was not resolved because we ran out of time to fix this. Difficulty in finding the nutrients of corals, but resolved it by asking around and researching more. And finding a description about the organ systems of amphibians, but this problem was resolved the same way the second problem was resolved.


And what's the most important thing we've learned from the ceo? We learned that we should ask questions about the format and learn from our mistakes; be more careful when reporting and pay attention to our grammar, content. and correct writing of scientific names; to not put too many special effects; and never cram.


Well, that's it for today, but stay tuned, because next time...we'll be taking a walk down plant lane.

A Little Something About Us

Hello everyone! We are the Minigurus and we will be making and posting blogs about Science. We'll start our walk through biodiversity with this introduction. Meet Reisa, the intellectual scientist, Gobs, the hilarious, fun-loving scientist, Margot, the nice and fun scientist, and Khaim, the great big strong scientist.

We decided to do this blog so that we could share our knowledge and experiences as we learn more and more about biodiversity.

And we'll be posting more blogs soon, so watch out! Stay tuned for our Walk Through Biodiversity.....blogs.
