This week in science we finished up our global water project. After finishing that we started working on the coral reef project. For the first class period, we researched our reef animals. My animal was the Dragon moray eel. I learned that Dragon moray eels can’t close their mouths fully because they have a curved jaw. I also learned that they can be called the lepoard eel. After the first period, we got into our groups and started working on our boulders. That was very fun.
I was suprised by how well our boulder came out. I really liked the shape. I may think about the dragon eel later in my life but I dont think the information will be too helpful. It was really satisfying and fun to tape the boxes together. It was also satisfying to make the infomation label for the coral. I think I participated well because it was something that was very fun to do. If I couldve done something differently I would have made the boulder smaller. My three questions are: How many types of coral are there, How long does it take for a staghorn coral to fully grow, and what place in the food chain is the dragon eel?
