Post 12: This Week in Science (Daphnia and Introduced Species)

This week in science I did a project on Daphnia, its a organism that lives under water that scientists test drugs on before they try on bigger animals like Mice and Rats. We did this experiment on a bus that did no harm to the environment. It ran on oils an stuff from leftover vegetables from restaurants they collected. We also did other blog posts that we didn't finish before and filled out regrade forms so we can get better grades.

I learned that Daphnia lives under water and gets tested before other animals that are bigger. I also learned that Drugs can't be sold and prescribed for people without being tested on first animals like Daphnia and then animals like Rats and Rabbits. Also that drugs can be overdosed on animals the way people overdose on drugs.

This Picture shows a picture of Daphnia and I chose this picture because it shows how it looks on the outside and it looks see-through so i can see its inner body parts.
