Day 7 Science and Sun!
Day 7 A gift of Sunshine!!
We had a full day of sunshine! The mountain tops all cleared of clouds and we got to see beautiful views of the volcanoes.
Lex, Jackson and Drew (from Texas) got to use the Pocketlab data sensors for their project. They are collecting temperature readings from the in-take and out-take tunnels of 2 leaf cutter ant species. They are also mapping the distribution/location of each of these types of tunnels.
Seth, Lana, Bukky and Anna (Texas) did more Gram staining for their bacteria project investigating if any other fast growing bacteria are present in the fungus garden.
Jesse, Karlee, Wendy and Lucas (Texas) found a good journal article about ants not liking grapefruit so they are trying different combinations of grapefruit leaves and rinds to keep leaf cutter ants off of the Cacao trees.
Lolo, Dylan & Clara worked on a project testing leaf cutting in light and dark environments.

We sang Happy Birthday to Zach after our Coffee Break. He turned 17 in Costa Rica and was the last of our trio of birthday celebrations! We all got a piece of the larger cake but Zach's was the biggest.
We all got water pistols to celebrate Zach's birthday since his birthday was all science. We had fun squirting each other.
