I think my final topic is going to be the effect of UV light on blue/ green algae. I like this topic, and it's a good topic that really relates to GEA's mission statement.
For my experiment, I plan on having two containers of blue green algae, as well as one UV lamp and one regular lamp. I'm not sure yet what time increments I'll be using, but I'll place each container of blue green algae under a lamp for a certain amount of time each day, and after each period of experimenting is over each day, I'll record data. I'll probably observe the level of blue green algae still in the container, the blue green algae's pigment, the movement of the blue green algae (does it move? If so, how?), and the amount of oxygen produced by the blue green algae.
Tomorrow during class, I'll be meeting with Ms.Minn to see what she thinks about my final idea and plans to experiment. It's important to meet with her tomorrow, because our application is due on Tuesday.

Because there's someone in my class already doing my topic, I also considered another topic:
ReplyDeleteThe effect of salinity on the reproductive potential of blue green algae.
Dr.Wright is our substitute today, so I'll ask her what she thinks. I'll start my application after I meet with her today.
