Consultation with Ms Tan

Yesterday, I consulted Ms Tan regarding by SIP project. The following was what we discussed:

• Instead of testing the effects of music on brine shrimp (heavy metal, pop, country and classical), I should test on the effects of different audio frequencies on the hatching rate of brine shrimp. Such a research would have great environmental advantages in marine conservation.
• Upload photographs/drawing of set-ups
• I do not have to photograph the brine shrimps of each set-up at every 12-hour interval unless there is a significant change in number. I just have to photograph the set-up at the start of the experiment.
• I have to get a counter from the Bio lab to help me count the brine shrimp more quickly and accurately. With each brine shrimp that I see, I will just have to click the counter. After counting all the brine shrimp, I can check the counter for the number of clicks that I have logged.
• I could go to the Bio lab to photograph the brine shrimp with a microscope-cum-camera so that I could track its hatching progress at every 12-hour interval more clearly as the pictures would be enlarged.
• I should carry out each set-up twice to ensure greater accuracy of results and consistency of data collected. For example, I should set up two set-ups testing 171 Hz at the same time.
