Hello Class! Our session this week was a little disappointing I would say. I was really excited to do this lab but unfortunately we didn't catch any sharks. I was hoping to see how we would measure these sharks when we reeled them in. I do have to admit that it wasn't the worst class session ever. I mean we got to sit on the beach all day instead of go to class. I thought that all of the different hooks that we were using were cool!

While we were sitting on the beach chad told us to look at some birds that were flying by and he said that they were called skimmers. These are a really cool bird because of how they hunt for fish. chad said that they fly right above the water and run the lower beak under the water to scoop up any fish that they see. I thought it was awesome that chad was able to identify that species of bird from so far away.
This week, because we didn't collect any data, we didn't have a serious graph to do and were told to make up our data. My graphs question was, "which species made up the Greatest Percentage of all sharks caught". Of course we didn't catch any but I pretended that we caught a ton of tiger sharks and no bonnet head or black tip sharks. With my graph I was able to tell that there are more tiger sharks in the area than any other species that I had listed. although I had a great time sitting on the beach I really hope that the next lab we do is more of a success that the lab we just did.
