Marine Reptiles and Marine Birds Mini-poster
Function: Sea turtles have played vital roles in maintaining the health of the world's oceans for more than 100 million years. These roles range from maintaining productive coral reef ecosystems to transporting essential nutrients from the oceans to beaches and coastal dunes.
Function: The Blue-footed Booby has captivated the human imagination for centuries with its mating display, in which its vivid baby-blue feet play a key role.
Description: For this project we learned about Marine reptiles and Marine birds for about a week or two. Then we watched videos and wrote notes to help us understand and to help us take a quiz/test. Then we started on the mini poster drawing, coloring, and writing three fun facts.
Marine Reptiles: are reptiles which have become secondarily adapted for an aquatic or semiaquatic life in a marine environment. The earliest marine reptile was Mesosaurus, which arose in the Permian period of the Paleozoic era.
Marine Birds: Seabirds (also known as marine birds) are birds that are adapted to life within the marine environment. While seabirds vary greatly in lifestyle, behaviour and physiology, they often exhibit striking convergent evolution, as the same environmental problems and feeding niches have resulted in similar adaptations. The first seabirds evolved in the Cretaceous period, and modern seabird families emerged in the Paleogene.
Reflection: Two things I did good in this project was the drawing. I feel like I did good on the drawing because it shows everything labeled and its very colorful. Another thing I did well is just learning about these types of cells. Two things I had trouble with was the work because I was far behind so I had to catch up on things and the second thing was the background colors.
