Whale Observation

The purpose of our whaling observation is to find the distance from where you are to a whale. We use Clinometer.
Does a Clinometer really work to find the distance?
I think it does because, the angle you point the Clinometer brings the weight to the accurate distance.
I thought it was cool testing out the Clinometers and finding whales. My favorite part was spotting the whales and testing out our tool. According to our data, we had no challenges. The post we saw was whales spouting. Their were a few pods of male whales that we saw fighting for the attention of a female. We also saw a mom and calf.

Tide pools

We went to the tide pools and searched for different types of creatures that we normally do not see everyday. We used certain tools to keep track of areas, and where we find these creatures. We were searching for these specific creatures:
Porifera-Sponges, feeders, Multicellular, sessile, fiter
Cnidarians-Jellyfish, sea anemores, corals
Platyhelminthes-flat worms, round worms, Nematoda
Mllusks- Gastropods
Annelids-Annelids, Segmented animals/worms
Arthropods
Arachnids-Insects
Crustaceans-Shrimp, lobsters, crabs
Echinoderms-Sea stars
Pipipi-Sea snails
We mostly found pipipi's.
