Last weekend I went to the beach with Carly and her family and friends. Biology was EVERYWHERE. First as we walked onto the sand we saw all the components it is made up of with minerals and tiny pieces of rock that have come from the erosion and weathering of rocks. Also we went to the freezing water and saw various and fish in the clearer parts of the water. I was especially fascinated when I saw a turtle swim past us in the water. Sea turtles are classified as kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class reptilian and order testudines. They are almost always in the water and have an anaerobic respiration. Also, when Carly was in the ocean, she was stung by a jelly fish. Jelly fish are actually not fish. They are from the kingdom Animalia, phylum crindaria and class scyphozoa. They are very interesting creatures. I learned and observed many interesting things at the beach today and saw biology everywhere I looked!
