A Ride Through Investigation and Research I
​
Cydney Peebles
There were many projects that were utilized in this class section. With having many projects, there was also a lot to learn from different faculty and other students in the classroom. We also learned from failed experiments. Research is a necessity in our education.
The Daphnia Experiment and Scientific Method
In this experiment, we got to choose exactly what we would do with the Daphnia and how we would test them. My group and I choose to look at their heart rates. We saw how compounds effected the heart rates short and long term. We watched them under the microscope and counted the heart beats we saw.
Projects
Faculty and Research
Many faculty members within our Biology department came to our class and gave small descriptions of their research. We were to listen and give them feedback on their performance. They included: Dr. Mesia Steed, Dr. Manju Bhat, Dr. Farr Niere, Dr. Carly Kemmis
Historical Figure
For this research assignment, we were to find someone who has impacted STEM at Winston-Salem State University in some way. We chose Dr. Wilveria Bass Atkinson.
Research Posters and Lab Reports
For our research poster, we used the same information of the Daphnia experiment.
