My IB bio students are starting their Internal Assessments after spring break, and will be spending a month working on their investigations. In the spirit of the thing, I’ve decided to use that time to do my own, rather than spend a month sitting there staring at them and drinking coffee.
So, pick one for me.
My two RQs right now:
1) Can reef aquarium Ostreopsis dinoflagellate populations be controlled through natural consumption and interspecific competition?
2) Can reef aquarium matter inputs be managed through growth of reef micro and macro fauna?
3) Write-in idea?
The second one needs some work to become a little more targeted, but you get the idea.
I would anticipate whatever investigation I do taking the rest of the school year (~90 days) to get any kind of meaningful data, so I want to get going soon. I have a culture of Ostreopsis going, as well as some other types of algae, and will be utilizing a fresh shipment of Tampa Bay Live rock for at least the 1st RQ.
If there is something along those lines that you would like to see, or another question that can be explored through the same set-up, write it in. Or I guess write anything in…you all might come up with a better idea than i came up with. Once I determine the investigation, I will start a new thread.
Thanks!
