ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center - 0 views

  •  
    Discover 70 live species, over 100 interactive experiences, and seasonal changing exhibits and events --- all exploring the Ecology, Culture, History, and Opportunity for stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin. ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington VT is a place where I have had the pleasure to go for school trips as a younger kid. I also had the opportunity to go on October 23, 2014. Being part of the Pathways Program I get lots of opportunities to meet and learn from experts on my topics. Today I got to meet Steve Smith, an aquarium keeper at the Echo. Shadowing him and his interns helped me understand the deeper care and maintenance of keeping an aquariums. I learned that when feeding your fish watch the way they act when its feeding time. If they stay at the top waiting for food you should slowly give more until they act uninterested. I also learned that the graits in the filters need to be cleaned one or more a week. Only rinse with water because the there is a certain bacteria that the fish need. I also have to look at ammonia in the water. If there is too much I need to drain 2/3s of the water and add new water to the tank. I found it very helpful to hear this information and I look forward to going again soon.

pH -- Water properties - 0 views

  •  
    United States Geological Survey (USGS)'s article discusses the definition of pH, its importance, measurement, pH in water quality and pH variation across the US. It's purpose is to get an understanding of what pH is and how it plays a role in the US. The source proved very useful, providing accurate information (some information came from a 2002 country pH survey!).

Chemical Cycles - 0 views

  •  
    Since we have been learning about chemical cycles, in my Biology class, this website has been very helpful. This really helped me study for my Biology midterm exam because I was able to have a visual model of what all the chemical cycles looked like. I could go to this site and get a lot of information on the water, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycle. Even though we were taught all of this in class, it helped me to read more information on it so I could have a better understanding on the subject.

LiveAquaria.com - 0 views

  •  
    LiveAquaria.com is a source I used to calculate the price of fish I would like to get salt and fresh water. The site was not what i had expected it to be. It was not just a catalog it had information about the fishes needs too. It showed PH, temp, temperament, food, and size of fish and minimum tank size. I only needed this site to make my price cost sheet and I could write the data that I need for care taking. If you need to find fish for a tank this is the best site to go to for any information about the fish you want, from price to PH.

    In this video he discusses gases pascal's principle and in-compressible fluids. He has some good demonstrations of these principles, such as shooting a paint can filled with water to demonstrate that water is (almost) in-compressible.

Biology study site: - 1 views

  •  
    Summarize: The main points of the Environmental Biology website is to show the five main nutrient cycles: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus and water and how energy flows through ecosystem. The topics covered include: ~the roles of an organism (such as a consumer, herbivores, etc.) ~energy flow through an ecosystem ~food chains and webs/ pyramids and biological magnification ~Humans vs. natural food chains This article goes through the basics of ecology and is very easy to understand. There are pictures of the cycles that relate to the reading. Review and access: This is a wonderful source because it includes all the different nutrient cycles as well as pictures and writing. It also brings up many concepts: bio magnification, the different roles of an organism and human vs. natural food chain. This website doesn't go in depth in a specific part of ecology, but is instead a basic and broad overview of the whole thing. Most websites either only talk about food chains or nutrient cycles, yet this website includes it all. This website is reliable, because I have compared it to other websites and classwork. I would recommend using this website when learning basic ecology or just refreshing your mind because a lot of simple concepts are mentioned. This article won't take long to read, because everything is pretty broad. Reflect: This source was helpful for me when refreshing my knowledge on the water cycle and learning about the oxygen and nitrogen cycle. I have used this site as a notes resource for the ecology unit in my biology class. This site has helped me to better understand the different cycles, the movement of energy through an ecosystem and food chains vs. food webs. ~Riley

Types of Deer - 0 views

  •  
    It may surprise you to discover that there are over 100 different sub species of deer in the world. They live in all locations except for Antarctica where it is too cold. As the name of this animal tells us, the White Tailed Deer is one that has a patch of white that is located around the area of its tail. The main points/the different species listed on this site are white tailed deer, red deer, caribou/reindeer, moose, water deer, common muntjac, axis deer/chital deer, elk, sika deer, elds deer, sambar deer, visayan spotted deer, fallow deer, key deer, mule deer, pampas deer, pudu, roe deer, and extinct species. The purpose of this site is to list all the species of deer. Some topics and issues covered are, why the deer is called what it is, unique features, size, other names, fawns, etc. The topics and issues covered are a few characteristics of each species. If someone asked what this webpage is about, I would say it briefly explains the 100+ different species of deer. This source was useful because it informed me of all the different species of deer in the world and some of their characteristics. Compared to other sources I have used, this article lists many types of species but is less descriptive about each individual species as they are brief. This information is reliable because it comes from a legitimate source called BioExpedition. There is a use policy at the bottom of the website that says this source can be used by students and teachers for school projects and homework. I would recommend this source for people looking to learn more about the many species of deer. This source was helpful to me because it showed me all the different species of deer and is focused on my current area of study - deer. It helps me direct my learning by giving me more material to focus on in class and at home. I can use this source to identify deer species when I'm out in the wilderness by their recognizable characteristics explained in this source. It has change

Dolphin Training - 0 views

  •  
    This website really helped me to get an inside look at the training that goes into dolphins. It was really incredible as it described different techniques to use when training them, different commands, the different stages of training. It was also incredible to just learn about dolphins and their personalities and behavioral tendencies involving stimulation. This site is definitely one that I'd recommend to someone else who wants to know more about the field and dolphins in general.

Backstage of SeaWorld's Believe - 0 views

  •  
    This video is extremely useful in order to understand how the trainers interact with the animals, specifically the orcas. This video really inspired me, seeing them give commands and having the orcas jump out of the water or swim to them. It is also truly incredible to see the trainers pat and feed the orcas, as well as learn about them in their meetings. The most incredible part of this video is seeing the trainers talking about their bonds with the animals. This video is definitely a must see for anyone interested in training animals of any kind, but specifically marine mammals. It will really help the viewer understand how special it truly is to interact with these animals daily as a profession.

SeaWorld Trainer Talks Blackfish and Captivity - 0 views

  •  
    This video is truly exceptional. This video really helped me to understand what actually happens behind the flips and tricks that the average customer of SeaWorld gets to see. This video gave me a deep comprehension of how the training and showcasing of these animals really helps the society to grow and educate themselves on how phenomenal and important these creatures really are. This video also showed me how important a marine mammal trainer's job is all about. This video is a must see if you're doing research on captivity, becoming a trainer, or the animals in general. Highly recommended.

Training Session - 0 views

  •  
    This site was really helpful to show me the bond between the trainers of the animals and the animals. This video also helped to show me some of the basic signals and commands that the trainers use. This video is definitely something I'd recommend someone who's interested in training marine mammals, and even animals in general. This video will really help you to see an example of some of the training that goes into these animals. This video really helped me to understand how often they must condition these orcas in order for them to follow their instructions.

SeaWorld's Blue Horizons - Behind The Scenes - 0 views

  •  
    This video was an incredible resource. I really got to understand the relationship between trainer and dolphin. I think this video definitely helped me to see the different personalities of dolphins, as well as their personalized training regimen and preferences. This really gave me a deep understanding of the topic that I would never have been able to have achieved unless I was right there having the trainers tell me this. This video is a must see for anyone looking into becoming a trainer, or just trying to study dolphins in general. Truly an amazing resource.
