Welcome to the last unit of Population! This unit was 3 weeks and we covered a lot of information. We talked about symbiotic relationships, growth in populations, line graphs, arithmetic and geometric sequences, and Thomas Malthus. The guiding question for this action project , How does human population growth affect other populations? In order to approach this question, I will be comparing the African Painted Dogs to humans and see the difference in population growth. Symbiotic relationships are interactions between two organisms. There are 7 different types of symbiotic relationships. All organisms interact in different ways. Sometimes they benefit from one another for an example, Bees and flowers. Bees provide flowers with the mean to reproduce and flowers provide bees with nectar and pollen. Sometimes organisms compete against each other for an example, Tigers and Lions. Tigers and Lions could compete for the same prey. For this action project, we were asked to compare our organis...

Welcome to the last Action Project of the Stories. Stories is a humanities course that the sophomores of GCE Lab School take. There are 3 units in this course, and we just wrapped up our last unit of this course. In this unit, we talked about Joseph Campbell's Monomyth-- the 12 stages of a hero's journey. Those 12 stages are Call to Adventure, Refusal of Call, Supernatural Aid, Crossing 1st Threshold, Belly of the Whale, Road of Trial, Meeting with the Goddess, Temptation, Atonement with the Father, Apostasis, Ultimate Boon, Refusal of Return, Magic Fight, Rescue from Without, Crossing Return Threshold, Master of Two Words, and Freedom to Live. For this action project our guiding question was, How do you analyze a hero? We were asked to compare 2 heroes. One fictional hero and one real life hero. The heroes that I chose to talk about were my brother, Leandre and the Flash from the television series named The Flash. I chose the Flash as my fictional hero because he has all the ...

Welcome to my second action project of Population! This unit we focused on animals environment and habitat. In this unit we learned box and whisker plots, standard deviation, permutation and combinations, We recently we on two field experiences to the Field Museum and the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. At the Field Museum, I was able to see a taxidermy of my animal which was really cool. I got to learn about taxidermy and how it's significant to science. Last action project, my organism was the African Painted Dog. For this action project I wanted to further my research on the African Painted Dog. Below is my continued research on the African Painted Dog. This time we went more in-depth on the environment of our organisms. Our guiding question was, How can you portray the evolution of a species? Habitat : African Painted Dog are mostly found in African plains such as, grasslands, open woodlands, and savannas. In the savanna there are two seasons, winter and summer. During the...
