Science: Planaria Update
Planaria Update
For our stem cell and regeneration studies in science, we are observing the planaria’s regeneration. Here is an Update on our progress. So far it has been rather interesting watching the planaria. For such simple animals, its interesting what they can do. Right now we are on day 6 going on 7 since we first cut the planaria. One of my planaria that was once just a head, is...

Planaria experiment
In science we are learning about stem cells and regeneration. In order to get a better idea of regeneration, we are going to be looking at the planaria. We were each given four planaria, to cut up and examine. In the next two weeks we plan to examine the planaria and see how they grow back, how long they survive, how many times the can be cut, etc.
The process of cutting the...

“A substance that is malleable is soft and can easily be made into different shapes” {Found when Rob teased me about my face, then told me to look up this word}
Science: Cloning
The third lecture we watched in class was about cloning. Cloning is basically making a similar copy of something. In 1958 the first clone was made. A scientist grew a carrot out of a single root cell. The first animal to be cloned was a frog in 1962. What really caught people’s attention though was the cloning of the first mammal, Dolly the sheep. Today scientists are able to clone sheep,...

Uno día, el león era en el pozo de aqua cuando ello vee un raro animale. El animale tuvo una cara como...
Science: Stem Cells
In science we are studying stem cells. We are watching a collection of video’s on stem cells. Somethings I learned in these videos are:
• A single blood stem cell can replenish all of an animals blood cells if they have been radiated or poisoned
• The influence of a stem cell’s surrounding cells determine its final state of development
• Stem cells are rare in the adult...
