The egg we experimented on went through many dramatic changes. In its original state, the circumference was 14 cm, and it was 66.8 grams in mass. However, it was much larger after it was put in the vinegar for 48 hours, the circumference was 17 cm, and the mass was 89.1 grams. This occurred because of osmosis. Since the vinegar had more water molecules than the egg, it was transferring the molecules to the egg to create equilibrium; therefore, the egg became larger.
As we found the Squirrel Monkey exhibit in Monkey Village, we began preparing our data tables and papers to gather all the information needed. Firstly, we set aside around 10 minutes to draw the habitat and take pictures for future reference. Next, we began the initial sampling method, the ad-lib recording. In this type of recording, you call out and write down everything observed. We stood together in an area that we thought the monkeys were most populated and took the recordings.
One dissimilarity between the Von Trapp family and the Applewhites, is that the Von Trapp family loved music, whereas the Applewhite clan were very artistic. Each Applewhite did such different work: Randolph Applewhite -theater director, Zedidiah Applewhite- handcrafts wood furniture, Archie Applewhites- constructs wood furniture, Lucille Applewhites - a poet, Debbie Applewhite (Sybil Jameson)- wrote bestselling mysteries. The Von Trapp family loved music, but each had different personalities that they had to accept in order to be harmonious when singing. Acceptance, is the theme of the story in my studious eyes. The Applewhites had multiple family members who were very artistic in their own way, but in order for the play to be triumphant, the Applewhites had to learn to accept
The two stories, The Masque of the Red Death, and Hop-Frog were written by Edgar Allen Poe in 1842 and 1849 respectively. The movie adaptation of these two stories was directed by Roger Corman and released in 1964. The film chose a radical approach, mostly because of the added characters, new details, and a different storyline. First of, the characters of Francesca, Gino, Lodovico and Juliana were completely fabricated on not at all based on any character from either story. The only main characters in Masque were Prince Prospero, and in Hop-Frog, it was the jokester king, Hop-Frog, and the dancer.
Sloths are very strange animals with their sluggish behaviors, yet they are very interesting at the same time. Sloths belong to the mammalian order Xenarthra, which also includes armadillos and anteaters. There are two different kinds of sloths, the two-toed and the three-toed sloth.

Fundamentally, each organism has a unique subjective perspective and conscious experience that is only understandable from the organism’s point of view.
