Today at iGEM, we dissected an octopus and a fish. I thought it would be easy to dissect them or cut them open, but it wasn’t easy at all. Their skins were pretty tough, so several people had to try until the skin was finally cut open. One of the things that I got to know about octopus is that it has a mouth in the middle of their legs, as you can see in the last picture. And if you cut the mouth part of the octopus, you’d be able to see a hard beak, that looks like the one that birds have. I never knew that an octopus would have a beak. When I dissected the fish, I found out that its tongue is very hard, unlike human’s tongue. Would it be just because the fish is dead? Or do all fish have hard, solid tongue?

For Science(and Math), we had to generate a research question, a hypothesis, a survey for the students of FDR in order to verify the hypothesis, and a report based on the result. The report was individual work, but I could work with one or two more people for the other parts of the project(question, hypothesis and the survey). So I worked with Daniel and Donnie, and our research question was “How does the amount of time doing exercise affect the person’s BMI?” We created a survey asking people’s height, weight and the amount of time they spend on exercising and sent it to 10th graders.
