Lesson Learned: Biology class!

So does anyone wonder how life began? What's the purpose of life? How we are existing? Why are we what we are? Why animals think and react differently? Well most or all of those can be answered through science. In Mr.Brian's biology class, we learned something new, like we always do. We are starting to learn a hell lot about Biology. We finished learning about evolution and now we've moved on to a kinesis (reaction to something) of an animal. We're also learning about some body parts of humans, fishes, and amphibians but that will be explained later.

So what do you do when someone's about to punch you? You blink or use your reflexes to block the punch. That's a kinesis already. I did an experiment to test the kinesis of a turtle to see what reaction it would have when light shines on it. When I did the experiment, the turtle was scared of ANYTHING that moved very quickly in front of its face. It was an "innate response" or a response that happens and you can't help it because you're born that way. The baby turtle didn't care so maybe he was operant conditioned (learned) or maybe he was born not be super scared or it could be an imprinted response (learning in your early life that you remember forever) to not be scared of the light or maybe it didn't learn yet. That's all for this week and I'll see you next time!
