A voyage to biology
meet the scientists!
Our school is the Model Junior High School of Heraklion which is located in the city of Heraklion in Crete. Our environment is urban but has also rural outskirts. Explore Heraklion in the following map!
We had a question about the genetics of tusklessness in Elephants .
And the journey begins....
In this first task biologist Dr. A. Pavlopoulos helped us a lot.
Elefant without teeth
We explore several different aspects of evolution using the material of biointeractive .
We then met biologist Dr. I. Stathi biologist of Natural History Museum of Crete .
Dr I. Stathi answered our questions about how biodiversity is affected by the climate change .
Our table from the meeting with Dr. I. Stathi
We wrote in the blog of Scientix about our meeting!
Dr I. stathi mentioned how crucial is the biodiverstity in our planet and how is affected by the climate change. We can see the biodiversity in our close environment, for example in the mountain of Psiloritis.
Mountain of Psiloritis with rich fauna and flora.
We took inteviews from biology students.
Unfortunately we realize that the climate change is here!
We have to stop climate change !
