Type up your lab.  SEE ATTACHED for your evaluation rubric and guide to writing a lab.

1)       Title

         Statement of the Problem:

2)      Background Information:

3)      Hypothesis: if/then/because 

4)      Development (materials and procedures)

5)      Results:

  • Analyze your results and explain it to the world - be scientific explaining what you proved with your experiment
  • Ex.  The shell that was in lemon juice for 13 days with a pH of 5 experienced a change in weight of 12%.  It was also observed that the colour changed, 5 2mm holes were formed and the shell became very brittle breaking easily with slight hand pressure.

Conclusion:  THIS PART IS INDIVIDUAL - the rest of the lab can be in your groups - I want to see your thinking here!

  • Answer your intital question
  • Explain whether your hypothesis was correct
  • Explain any potential mistakes in this experiment (like evaporation)
  • How can this information be applied to the real world problem of the rise in ocean acidification?
  • What further research could be done in our lab and out on the oceans to learn more about this problem?

1.      How many tons of seafood are harvested each year?

2.      Why did the carbon footprint increase for fisheries since the 90’s?

3.      Do you think that seafood carbon footprint labelling is a good idea?  Why does Susanna Fuller argue that eating fish has a lower carbon footprint than other protein?

4.      What is by-catch?

5.      Should all food be labelled for carbon footprint? 

6.      What level of government would be responsible for such a food labelling program?

7.      For someone labeling carbon footprint do you think that they should consider – fuel? Equipment manufacture? By-catch? Waste of the animal? Waste for cleaning? How far the markets are from where the food is produced (transportation costs)? Damage done to the local environment? Packaging?

8.      Is there a way to make reducing our carbon footprint easier for the consumer to make an informed choice?

  • Research another photoshop artist.  Include some examples of their work.  Compare to Erik Johannson's work.  Which do you prefer? Why?  What makes these artists outstanding?  Write about 150 words.  Organize your thoughts and give good examples.  Include pictures or links to pictures in your reflection.
  • You have a choice ANIMAL MERGE or TRANSFORM A PERSON. 
  1. Merge two animals. Be inspired by clicking here.  You can also choose to do an animal and a fruit etc….  Go through the lesson attached.  It shows you how to change colours and the displacement map is great for substiuting textures (fur/feathers etc.)
