Today, we started our lab work with microbiology. We took the sponge samples we had collected at the docks on Monday and saw how they reacted to the E. coli bacteria. By the way the sponges reacted we could see if the sponge could be used as a possible antibiotic medicine. Then, we did prints of the fish we caught on Tuesday while on the research boat. To do this we painted one side of the fish and pressed paper on top. This produced detailed fish prints. We made a print with all of our fish on one sheet that we plan to hang at school. The final activity we did was fish dissections. We first learned about the external anatomy of the fish and then moved to the internal, where we discussed the placement of all of the organs.
