Hello fellow scientists,
I have a query for you all. Bull kelp is an incredible ocean organism, which is pretty abundant in Pedder Bay. It can apply to biology as a living organism, to chemistry as it has interesting properties (it secretes ooze!) and physics in terms of elasticity and how it moves in waves. While I don't have a concrete experiment/procedure to do with bull kelp yet, it would be an interesting subject to focus on. I have a long strand of bull kelp outside my room that's been dehydrating for a couple weeks now and it's all shriveled. We could use it to look at exposure to air/outside of water for long periods of time.
Lemme know what you think.
Sounds like a good idea! I was thinking that we could do something related to the mudflats in Pedder Bay, analysing salinity at different times of day (depending on tides), looking at some of the life in a specific section, and possibly examening some basic chemical characteristics as well. This would combine at least three of the four sciences (except physics, probably). Let me know what you think!
