Biology Ideas

Since we were thinking about doing "Trash in Hanoi" right? Why don't we do like "Trash at Westlake"? I mean its somewhat similar right? Like the bio people can do something with Ecology?

//Yeah, trash at westlake sounds like it could work.// //If we did trash, would it be trash near Westlake or trash IN Westlake? B////ut would it be difficult to count the trash in the lake?// //There was another idea about talking to the fishermen about how their fishing has been. We could figure out whether the fishing in Westlake is increasing or decreasing and why?// Well if we were to do trash then it would probably be like trash near it, cause I don't think we have much time for trash IN westlake. The fisherman idead is pretty cool too. It's also much easier and quicker for us to work on. I think we could do that. BUt we also need to see what the other sciences are planning to do. Cause don't they have to relate with each other or something?

Final decision: "Pollution in Westlake"

The more polluted the lake, the less fish can thrive in the lake. We can compare pollution levels now and in the past by examining the fishing now and in the past.
 * Fish**
 * Ask the local fisherment about how their fishing has been:**
 * What kind of fish do they get?
 * What fishing methods are used?
 * How many do they catch?
 * How long does it take?
 * How is this different from last year?
 * How is this different from when you first started fishing?
 * Where do you catch the most fish? (Chem?)
 * Where is the water most polluted? (Chem?)

Helpful information found from this website: []

We can use the data about past fishing records along with the data we gather from the fishermen about current fishing patterns.

We've changed our topic from comparing fishing now and in the past to comparing fishing in different areas. We did this to match up with the Chemistry and Physics people who are testing water samples from several different areas. Now, we have a topic which covers all four areas: how pollution affects fishing in West Lake.
