Biology, 2018: studying biological compounds, processes, scientific methods and discoveries, and several species, experimenting with chemical compounds and completing projects. Skills attained: graphing information, collecting and preserving specimens, taking notes, experimenting.
Four Biology Projects:
Wildflower Project (Database)
Wildflower Project (Gallery)
Wildflower Project (Lab Write up)
Wildflower Project, Sam Chopra, Spring 2018: Collecting, pressing, and describing wildflowers
The purpose of this assignment was to show us how to successfully find out what species are living in a given area. I was able to find many flowers, and displayed their information accurately. I could improve it by finding more flowers, and soon I might find other kinds of species to document.
Betta splendens Poster
Betta splendens poster, by Sam Chopra, Babido Wane, and Isaac Moles, 10-2-17. A study on the reactions of male Betta splendens to other fish.
The purpose of this project was to introduce the class to proper experiments. It helped me learn to find the important details.
Catalase Experiment
Catalase Experiment, by Sam Chopra, Miri Moreau, and Jessy Lee. 1-10-18. An experiment on the reaction of catalase to hydrogen peroxide.
The purpose of the experiment was to show how catalase changes h2o2. It showed me how important attention to detail is. This type of experiment will continue, due to the wide range of topics related to chemistry.
Evolution Book Reading
Evolution Book Reading by Sam Chopra. 4-29-18 : A reading of my children's evolution book.
The purpose of this assignment was to show the class how to explain complex ideas in simple terms. I wrote and illustrated a children's book about evolution, using Ophiocordyceps unilateralis.
