Guinea Pigs Observation Report

Decent Essays
Hello families,
Amazingly, we are about to start the third week of school. I am really happy to say that the class is getting use to the routines and adjusting great! I am already so proud of them. Since the class is progressing so well, I think it is a great time to introduce the new class pets on Monday. Their names are Sweet-Pig and Piglet; two female guinea pigs. Last year I wrote a grant to fund purchasing most of the items needed. Ongoing supplies are needed for the care of the guinea pigs such as bedding, hay and pellet food. If you would like to donate any of these items, you may bring them to the classroom and I would be ever so grateful. The children also may bring them vegetables such as lettuce, cucumber and celery to feed them

    The primary bit of this lab, we were given the chance to essentially analyze worms and turn out to be more acquainted with the terms of life structures concerning the body areas and positions. The worm analyzation concentrated for the most part on the sexual multiplication part of worms, likely in light of the fact that it is not fundamentally the same as human proliferation.

Amid this lab I recognized diverse structures of the worm and their physiological functions. In the second part of the analysis, I got to practically dismember a fetal pig.…

In 1630 a treaty was signed with Spain that allowed the English and French to colonize some of the lands along the Spanish Main.…

The population of feral hogs kept increasing, and what helped their massive expansion was the illegal trade and translocations of feral hogs by humans.…
