| Well sorted sediment |
Do Mole Crabs prefer a habitat with a specific sediment size and type? That was my scientific question and all of my final data points to the answer being yes. Mole Crabs prefer a habitat with a larger grain size, specifically sediment that is poorly sorted and angular because there is more room between the grains for the Mole Crab to burrow in.
I really enjoyed working on my project and all the other hands-on experiences we got to do in this lab. I realized that I have a hard time thinking like a scientist. Most of my educational life I have been
told the answers instead of being able to think on my own. There is also the great fear of making mistakes or being wrong. In science, all that goes out the window. This class really reinforced that and it was a nice change of pace for me. I hope when I am a teacher with my own science class I can apply the same methods with my students so that they are able to think critically and not be so concered with making mistakes.
