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.

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.
