Silvercreek's AP Biology Class Analysis

Decent Essays

When the teacher first told the class that the assignment would be completed independently within our groups with no class guidance we are all a little surprised since this had rarely ever happened before especially for something so significant and challenging. After the initial shock my group realized we would need to work together not only in the activity but in developing an approach to perform the dissection in a successful manner, we began by delegating tasks based on the talents and elements of our group with those who were more squeamish became note takers and photographers and

    In the BIO 14 Lab, we attempted to design a oviposition experiment that would tell us something about the relative behavior of two variants of a beetle species Callosobruchus maculatus (SI – originating from South India & BF – originating from Burkina Faso). The specific question being asked in our experiment is: How does the availability of the preferred bean type affect the oviposition strategy (measured by the number of eggs on each bean) of female SI and BF beetles? Most of our group members actually arrived this question at first independently and upon further discussion found that we all were looking to answer the same question. I arrived at this question as when looking that preferred seed of the two beetle types were so vastly energetically…

When we introduced ourselves and what our concentrations were, it was easy to determine what roles and responsibilities we would take on. We worked individually on our tasks before meeting together and integrating everything into the final product. The problems that arose primarily concerned communication and scheduling group meetings.…
