Evidence of Work:
For this project, we had to make a timeline of marine biology with both pictures and information. First we had to research all of the required topics. To do this we split up the topics between our group members. Then we put it all onto a timeline. The info consisted of people who studied marine biology and inventions that were used to study marine biology. |
Content:
Gatherers (75,000 years ago) -Humans that got the re food and materials through hunting and gathering. Pacific Islanders (3,000 - 1,000 BC) -They navigated with wind, current, and wave patterns. Phoenicians ( 2,000 - 1,200 BC) - Sailed around the Mediterranean; celestial navigation, trade routes, and colonization. Aristotle (384 -322 BC) - The first Marine Biologist, Greek scholar, and gave us records of significant biological observations. James Cook - English sea captain that made scientific observations and 3 voyages to Antarctic and Pacific Islands. Charles Darwin - Proposed theory of evolution by natural selection and studied coral reefs, plankton, barnacles and many more organisms. Wilkes Expedition - Was a vain and cruel captain who charted the coast of Antarctica, 280 South Pacific Islands and Oregon. The Challenger Expedition - Was a British warship geared for dredging that collected water samples, bottom sample and a total of 50 volumes of data. Marine Labs - Built to study living organisms and for long term experiments. The first one was in Naples, Italy in 1872. Sonar - Sound Navigation Ranging; helped determine the depth of the ocean. SCUBA- Self contained underwater breathing apparatus; allowed marine biologists to observe marine organisms in their natural habitat. Satellite Imagery- Motion global temperature, weather, algae production and pollution. FLIP - Floating Instrument Platform; filling the hollow hull with water swings FLIP to a vertical position and stabilizes the vessel. Alvin - A deep sea submersible that submerges up to 6500 meters. ROV - Remote Operated Vehicle Aquarius - An underwater marine biologist lab, had living quarters at a depth of 20 meters for ten day missions. Crittercam- A camera that attaches to marine animals and is used to view there behaviors in there natural habitat. AUV - Autonomous Underwater Vehicles; can explore the ocean without needing someone to control it. NOAA Okeanos Explorer - Telepresence Technology = cameras to view ocean floor. |
Reflection:
This project overall went well. One thing in particular that went well was productivity. While we were doing this project, i stayed focus the entire time. Another thing that went well was how we worked together. Everyone did what they were asked to in the time that we needed it to be done. However, there were also a few things that didn't go as well as they could have. An example of this was our time management. Even though we were able to finish it all on time, we had to rush at the end because we were behind. Another thing was we didn't really have a leader which would have helped our time management if we had one. |
