To make the sea floor we had to make playdoh and recreate a section on a map that we where given. After we did that we put graph paper over the box we had and made a graph on the paper. When we where done we had to take sticks and punch through the paper in cretin spots on the graph. We put the stick down in till we felt that it hit some thing then we recorded how far it went down. We put the recordings on a paper and the point of all this was to see if we could know what it look like with out seeing it.

ocean

I learned a lot from the trip we took on Thursday October 3. One of the things that I have learned while on the boat is that plankton is the most important thing in the world. Plankton is important because it is the base of all life and off life eats them. I also learned that during March and June there is the most amount of them in one spot. I also learned that fish need optimal temperature in order to live. When we were on the boat we caught a female lobster and learned the difference between the male and female ones.
