Great question..I am not sure how long it will take us to get to our first sample site. I know that the ship deosn't even leave the dock until Nov 7, so I don't suppose we will be collecting samples until at least the 8th! You will have to check the journal every day! : ) Glad it worked for you now!

I miss you ........... the sub Mr. Smith I think is cool ......I'm not very smart with learning energy though.....question ..........If you did catch copepods would they let you bring some home with you ............I think the ones you ordered are probly doomed by now i don't know I didn't check today........nother question....... how long will you actually stay to observe the copepods "if" you catch them..... stay safe.

Okay...I am gone so long because we are taking samples from lots of different places in three different seas - that will take a while! I'm glad you like the sub and energy will come easier once you start doing labs! I can see if I can bring some home, but it will be during Christmas break, so they too may be doomed! I am told we WILL catch them...it is just a matter of which species! I am not sure how long they will live...I will let you know when we start catching them!

You can check out the Journal for Nov 6. There are two pictures of the nets we will be using to sample for copepods. The nets are large, but they funnel down to a codend (the container that holds the sample). The codend is about the size of a 2 liter bottle. That is pretty small!

ok .....math is difficault......the question for october talking about polystyrene cups .....The changes will be that the copepods will multiply when you get to different places....question #2 about the oil... 20% is produced in alaska....guessed on that one !!!!!!!!!!!

Mon, 11/14/2011 - 11:54

Chantelle Rose

The polystyrene cup question...think about what changes will happen with the cup. Not copepods...it will be a "guess" because I haven't done anything with the cups yet! The oil question...google it! : )
