Evidence of work:
For this project, we had to salve a problem using biology. We wanted to solve or help the problem of pollution, but that is way too broad so we focused in on car pollutants because we like cars. However the problem is that thee are very few solutions to this that involve biology. We decide to find a new way to make bio fuel that would be cheaper and easier. Our solution was to make it out of potatoes and then be able to use the leftovers as food. |

Concepts:
Fermentation: The chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms. Ours is yeast. Carbon Cycle: Plants use carbon dioxide in the air in photosynthesis to make glucose. Animals then eat the pants and the glucose, which is where the carbon is transferred to, is used by them in cellular respiration and release back into the environment. Denaturing: take away or alter the natural qualities of. Global Warming: a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. |
Reflection:
This project went pretty well. However, like all other projects there were ups and downs. One of the pits was that that we had an idea that we had all thought out and ready, but were told that the solution was not enough biology related. Another pit was that we only have 2 people in the group so when one person was absent the other was left alone. one peak of this project is that we still were able to come up with a solution, even though we had the setback. Another was that we were able to do a solution that was related to something that we both like. |
