My Liver...

I'm sorry to my liver , I didn't take care of him. When I was a senior high school student , I went to bed regularly at eleven o'clock. Slept enough for almost eight hours a day. But everything went different when I became a college student. I was used to sleep later and later , now , it's too early for me to go to bed before two o'clock. There is a big difference between them.

Actually , I don't like to go to bed so late , but there are too many things are waiting for me. Especially in Thursday night , it has became a normality to write my Biology Experiment from the night to the early morning. After several times , I was used to sleep late at night. I even couldn't sleep before two o'clock. And I slept in class more and more often. It isn't a good habit , but it is not easy to overcome if I still under the pressure of study. Maybe my liver will explode someday...

Energy Crisis

The price of oil has become higher and higher. And everything became more expensive to reflect the price of oil. Everyone started to complain the prices is too high for them to afford. What happened? There must had some reasons to explain the effect.

For the most basic reason , there is a limit of the supply of oil. The oil had been used for centuries. According to research , the oil can use for fifty years only. If that day came , I couldn't image how horrible it would be.

To solve this problem , we must decrease the energy we use. Like turn off the electric equipment while you don't use it. Take public transportation rather than driving your own car. Increase the degree of air conditioner. And create new source of energy actively , like solar energy and nuclear energy. After all , to economize to avoid running short.

The Finial Research - Pteridophyte

The finial research of the Biology Experiment has to choose an organism to do long-term research. Our group chose the organism - Pteridophyte , a group of original plant. We had to do two part , to recognize and to plant for experiment.

For the first part , we went to the BBQ area (maybe...) of our school and looked for Pteridophyte. It's really kind of difficult job. The Pteridophyte was hard to recognize , and there were large amount of mosquito. For the second part , we chose a kind of Pteridophyte - Pteris dimidiata Willd(半邊羽裂鳳尾蕨) and planted them in our room. We separated them into seven plants , one was a comparison , the others were control. We control the conditions of light , dark , wet , dry , wind and heat. In the pictures were Miles and I planting the Pteridophyte. We wore the cloth of experiment , rubber gloves and a mask , just for fun......

We spent a lot of time on this research , hope we could have a good result in the end.

Frog Skeleton Model

Continued from the last blog , I should made up a frog skeleton model by the frog I anatomized. Before making up it , the skeleton should soaked in soapsuds for about five days. The soapsuds should be changed and removed the remnant muscle everyday. It took me several hours a day to do that. When all the muscle and fat had been removed , soaked them in 3% Dioxidane to bleach. Then started to made up the model.

The bone separated in many small piece , especially the hand and the toe. It took me a long time to piece them together with gum. I started at about 7 p.m. , and when there is 8 a.m. , I still hadn't finished yet!

I made up the model with another three people , we organized a band. My frog is the one who takes a electric bass. There are a singer , a electric guitarist and a drummer. Our skeleton models acquired admiration from our teacher. I think we really payed much attention on them.

Biology Experiment - Anatomize a FROG

In our Biology experiment , we had a lesson about anatomize a frog. Sounds like every student who study Life Science should do that at least one time.

In fact , anatomize a frog is quit interesting. First I cut the abdominal cavity of my frog , and then check all the organs with the textbook. Removed those organs one by one , liver , fatty body , stomach , intestine , testis(seems you are a male frog) , kidney , lung and heart. After that , I had a frog that without nothing in his stomach. Quit strange. Then , we had to remove the whole skin and most muscle tissue of the frogs. Everyone teared the frog hardly , blood and body fluid splashed everywhere.(juicy...) Then boiled them... That's because the frog had been cooked could easily remove their muscle tissue.

The frog should still be keep to make up a skeleton model for assignment. So we packaged the frog up and take them to our lovely dormitory....
