Wood Bison Are They Good Or Not?

For the first class for the year, for STEAM we are in the last Population unit. In unit 3, we went through a journey to learn about our population and how it is growing. We examined the evidence for our population and other species. Seeing how much their population had years ago compare to now. We went to a cemetery to examine what year people die and what year people were born. We had to compare the dates of when people were born and see how many people died for a specific year. The last AP was about finding an organism and compare it to humans population. I chose Bisons for my organism. The thing that I had the most trouble with was the recording because I am self-conscious of my voice and when I record, I always talk faster than I normally do. What I did to overcome it was read clearly and not to speak quickly. The thing that I was most proud of was the math part, graph and finding the facts of the Action Project because I could understand that part and do a good job on it.

My graph shows the population of Bisons and humans from 1988 to 1997

The math for both of the math statements are geometric

Bisons

a1= 205

a2= 253

a3= 311

253/205= 1.23

253+1.23=

311 for 1998

Humans

b1= 5,821,016,750

b2= 5,898,688,337

b3= 5,898,688,338

5,898,688,337/5,821,016,750=1.01

5989688337+1.01= 

5,898,688,338 for 1998

The North Pole

For the first class for the year, for STEAM we are in the second population unit. In unit 2, we went through a journey to learn where we were from. This unit introduces Darwin and his theories on Natural Selection as a mechanism for evolution. We examined the evidence for Evolution and came to understand how changes are selected. The thing that I had the most trouble with was the recording because I am self-conscious of my voice and when I record, I always talk faster than I normally do. What I did to overcome it was read clearly and not to speak fast. The thing that I was most proud of was the math part of the Action Project because I could understand that part and do a good job on it.

DOGS

The following is a list of ten dogs I choose that will be released into the North Pole. I have put them in order from lightest to heaviest and marked the Minimum, 1st Quartile, Median, 3rd Quartile and maximum.

Pagoda 8 lbs MIN
Gummy 10 lbs
Hawk 12 lbs Q1
Unitas 17 lbs
Hayden 19 lbs
19.52 lbs MEDIAN
Dorsett 20.06 lbs
Jarvis 22.81 lbs
Kuzco 40 lbs Q3
Pelican 42.12 lbs
Chiarina 46.5 lbs MAX

MAX: 46.5

MIN: 8

RANGE: 38.5

MEAN: 22.748

MEDIAN: 19.52

MODE: NO MODE

1776.85 / 9 = 197.42
√197.42

Standard Deviation= 14.05

Since this set of animals has a standard deviation of around 14, this means that the whole group is 14.05.

When we choose animals from a group, I choose dogs for my animal. We had to choose 3 out of 10 who we think will survive in the new environment and pass on their genetic traits. The are two ways for choosing them for the North Pole. The first is Combination. A combination is where order does not matter. Another way is Permutation, which is where order does matter.

10 C 3

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

                                                                                                                                                              

7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1

 10, 5, 9, 3, 8

3, 2, 1

5x3x8= 120

This means that there are 120 way they can go in no matter what order.

10 P 3

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

10x9x8= 720

This means that there are 720 they can go in where order does matter.

For my animals being put in the North Pole, it will be a combination because it doesn't matter how or where you put them in, there will still be a group of three out of ten.

Gorilla King Kong

For the first class for the year the unit is called population the class is STEAM. In this unit we investigated what is population and what is included for population. In internal we studied mathematical and scientific systems of species. For my project I loved how we went to the zoo and got to look at our animals. The thing that I struggled with the most was writing neat the mathematical problems. I over came that by taking my time and going very slow.

My animal is a Gorilla. Its scientific name is Gorilla beringei. I made a collage mosaic then a slide show with a picture of my animal with arrows pointing to where each taxonomic level is.

Taxonomic Level	Your organism’s group	Key characteristics of group
Kingdom	Animalia	They are multicellular.
Phylum	Chordata	Have a tail
Class	Mammalia	Have fur
Order	Primates	Have nails
Family	Hominidae	Large brain
Genus	Gorilla	Apes that inhabit the forests of central Africa.
Species	Gorilla  beringei	The eponymous genus Gorilla is divided into two species.

Here is my reference photo for the collage:

Next will be my collage mosaic.

AA, Gorilla (2016)

Next, I compared the Gorilla with Lynx and Rattle Snake. Here is my Venn diagram. I had two partners for this Venn diagram. MJF, one of my partners, did his animal project on a Rattle Snake. MN is my other partner. She did hers on Lynx. Click on the names of my partners and you can see their blog.

Below are my mathematical statements that describe the population for Gorillas using set theory.
