Fiddler Crabs

Introduction             The hypothesis tested during this longitudinal study of the  Uca minax  fiddler crab species at Spermaceti Cove on Sandy Hook, New Jersey is as follows:  The  Uca minax  fiddler crab species located at Spermaceti Cove on Sandy Hook, New Jersey will increase as the years go on. The null hypothesis for this study is as follows: There will be no difference in the  Uca minax  population at Spermaceti Cove on Sandy Hook, New Jersey over the years. The hypothesis was tested using the same method that was used in previous years in order to mitigate error and increase the accuracy of the study.             This longitudinal study is important, as fiddler crabs are an indicator species; there is a direct correlation between their population stability and the health of their habitat. Should their habitat be unhealthy or receiving increasing amounts of pollutants, the amount of fiddler crabs seen will decrease. Conversely, if the salt marsh these fiddler crabs live i

What I've Done I presented my senior project on May 23. I believe it went really well. I spoke to a bunch of people and educated them about what a population assessment is and how I conducted my research, as well as what conclusions I drew from my statistical analysis. Plans for the Future I will finish my testing and results for the 1 June due date. I will also write my final paper and hand it in prior to the due date, so I don't have to worry about it. 

What I've Done I completed my final progress poster with the revisions Ms. McDonald said to make and emailed it to both her and Ms. V to be printed. Plans for Today I will not be in class today, as I have a field trip. Plans for the Future I will pick up my printed poster tomorrow morning. I will prepare for Senior Project Night, which is on 23 May.

Plans for Today I will meet with Ms. McDonald in class today and determine what needs to be fixed on my progress poster before I email it to be printed. Plans for the Future I will make the revisions on my progress poster Ms. McDonald has for me. I will then begin working on my testing and results (not due until 1 June).

What I've Done I finished my progress poster & emailed it to Ms. McDonald to see if I needed to make any adjustments. Plans for Today I will not be in class all week, so I will wait for Ms. McDonald to reply to my email & then make the revisions at home. Plans for the Future I will make the revisions on my progress poster Ms. McDonald has for me. I will then begin working on my testing and results (not due until 1 June).

What I've Done I asked Ms. McDonald if there were any revisions I needed to make for my final paper. She said it was as good as it is going to get, so I submitted my final paper to her. Plans for Today I will finish my progress post and email it to Ms. McDonald to see if she has any adjustments that I should make to it. Plans for the Future I will make the revisions on my progress poster Ms. McDonald has for me. I will then begin working on my testing and results (not due until 1 June).

Plans for Today I asked Ms. Mcdonald if she has looked over my paper for adjustments. I will make those adjustments and then continue with my progress poster. I will hand in my final paper to Ms. McDonald. Plans for the Future I will work on my progress poster.

What I've Done I made revisions. Plans for Today I have not seen Ms. McDonald since my last log entry, so I will begin working on my final progress poster. Plans for the Future I ask Ms. McDonald if she has looked over my paper for adjustments. I will make those adjustments and then continue with my progress poster.

What I've Done I made many revisions based on what Mrs. Zrada told me. Plans for Today I will continue to make revisions and ask Ms. McDonald if she has any revisions for me to make. Plans for the Future I will make more final revisions. After I am sure my paper is complete, I will begin my final progress poster.
