The most fascinating thing that I learned was how the sea star eats. The sea star actually detaches the stomach from its body, and then swallows it with the food in it. That is incredible, and has given me a better understanding of how the sea star survives and is such a major predator.]]> 2017-01-17 22:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698351 Aaron Steger https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698574 During the presentations that were given by my fellow peers, I have extracted many interesting details about the starfishes interior and exterior layout. These informative presentations extended my small knowledge on the even smaller echinoderm given the title, starfish. I learned all the main parts of the starfishes anatomy, such as the stomach and the anus. The water vascular slide informed me on the different parts and what they do in the water vascular system. Such as the ring canal, the part of the water vascular system located in the upper section of the starfish. I was also introduced to a new phylum which the starfish actually belongs to: Phylum Echinoderm. I also was blown away by the fact that the starfish is a dual breeder, which is uncommon in most species. This means that they can reproduce both sexually and asexually.]]> 2017-01-17 22:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698574 Sebastian Gomez https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698668 During research and presentations from my classmates I learned many different things about starfish. But by far the most interesting thing I learned was that a severed arm from one starfish can grow a whole new starfish.  ]]> 2017-01-17 22:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698668 Roxanne Natal https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698682 During my research and the presentations from my peers about sea stars, I learned many things. First of all, sea stars have a very complex anatomy, and they have a rather odd way of hunting and eating their food.]]> 2017-01-17 22:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698682 Jaeren Fabia https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698687 Gathering information not only from my research about the water vascular system but also the research from my fellow peers, I have learned facts about the sea star. From the vocabulary section, it has given me some hints of what other people have researched about.

I learned that sea stars are very complex and fascinating creatures, and everything I leaned was extremely interesting. The most intriguing thing I learned however, was that the sea stars' stomach detaches from its body when it eats. It made my think of so many questions. ]]> 2017-01-17 22:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698693 Keiya Gaerlan https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698703 During my research and the presentation from my fellow GATE classmates about sea stars, I learned many unique and interesting things about them. I discovered how sea stars eat and digest food, and what it looked like from a video. I also learned that they don't just eat other sea creatures; they eat decomposed plant matter as well.]]> 2017-01-17 22:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698703 Jordan Vargas https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698710 Along with doing my research and listening to other slides, I learned many things about a sea star.The first thing I learned was some new words corresponding with the sea star and its anatomy. I also learned things about the water vascular system, which i worked on along with my group members. What I learned that was most interesting was the anatomy, which was pretty similar to my presentation, digestion, and reproduction. Those are some things I learned about while learning about the sea star.]]> 2017-01-17 22:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698710 Alison Chou https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698736 After the presentations given by my peers about sea stars, I learned that when sea-stars get one of their limbs amputated, they can grow their limb back. I found that fact enticing, because I did not know this. The only animal I know that can do this, is a lizard. ]]> 2017-01-17 22:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698736 Janina Gbenoba https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698740 After researching with my group and watching others present their findings on the topic of sea stars, I learned many fascinating things, such as the fact that sea stars have eye spots on their arms that sense shadows, one of the things that I found most interesting. I aso learned]]> 2017-01-17 22:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698740 Kailyn Belton https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698746 After the presentations presented by my fellow peers, I learned from the anatomy the different parts of a starfish. What I found interesting from the anatomy is how the anus is used to expel undigested foods, even though more often then not, the food is regurgitated through the mouth. From the reproduction slide, I learned that in through asexual reproduction, the starfish actually generates a completely new starfish from an amputated limb. This I found fascinating because most of the few asexual reproducing organisms simply fertilize their own eggs. In the water vascular system slide, I went more in-depth to how the water vascular system works. ]]> 2017-01-17 22:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698746 When watching and listening to the presentations concerning starfish from my peers, I learned some incredible things about the starfish. They are not ordinary animals, as they have some amazing and bizarre traits. No echinoderm has a head, and doesn't possess a excretory system.

I have learned plenty of new vocabulary, as well as new things about the water vascular system, and how sea stars reproduce. The most interesting i have learned about the fantastic creatures is the system that humans do not have, which is the water vascular system.

The most interesting thing about the starfish is how a starfish can reproduce asexually. A starfish can reproduce asexually by losing an arm. The arm the proceeds to grow into a new starfish. The most thoughtful thing I learned was how you could identify a starfish's 5-rayed, radial symmetry no matter how many arms it has. ]]> 2017-01-17 22:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698848 Alyssa Falk https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698851 After doing research and listening to the presentations I have learned a lot more about the starfish than I originally did when I came to this class. For example, one of the most interesting things I learned was something I was already familiar with, but the presentation explained in much more depth. I knew that starfish could asexually reproduce, but after watching the presentations, I learned in more detail how that was possible. ]]> 2017-01-17 22:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698851 Cayden Ginting https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698855 While watching the presentations, I learned a lot about the different body parts of a sea star, their behavior, and how they reproduce.For example, I learned that sea stars reproduce sexually and asexually.

I learned starfish can reproduce sexually and asexually. Another thing I learned is that all echinoderms do not possess an excretory system. I also learned that starfish are omnivores. I thought this was most interesting because a starfish does not apear to be a very lethal preditor, but their diet consists of decomposed plant matter, oysters, fish, and mussels to name a few.]]> 2017-01-17 22:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698878 Brooke Blair https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147698884 During my research and presentation with my table we found out about many interesting things. Before we researched about them I did not know very many things about the sea star. First we researched about the symmetry.

I also found out many intriguing things about the composition of the starfish, including the fact that, while the sea star has an anus, it does not have excretory organs, and much of its waste is  expelled through regurgitation.  Starfish also have no brain. Instead, they have ganglia that control their movements. Learning about the reproduction of starfish was, too, very enlightening. It amazed me to find out that when a starfish's arm is severed, that arm becomes its own sea star. These are some of the highlights of the class presentation that I found exciting.]]> 2017-01-18 00:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147706307 Rahesh Waheed https://padlet.com/jamie_ohara/754qvj6xex2c/wish/147721987 During my research and the presentation from my peers about sea stars, I learned that starfish are much more complex than I initially thought them to be. Starfish have many elaborate systems each with several parts. The most fascinating thing for me to learn was the regenerative and reproductive systems of the starfish. I found it really intriguing that starfish could reproduce both sexually and asexually. I also found the fact that starfish could regenerate whole limbs very interesting. For me the second most compelling subject was the vocabulary. The only words that I had known the definitions of before the class were oral and aboral. Words like madreporite and echinoderm were unfamiliar to me. Learning about those words and their definitions was really fun and it also increased my previously pitiful vocabulary. These are the main things that I found most interesting from me and my peers' presentations.

It was also interesting to learn that starfish can reproduce sexually and asexually. Which I would have never know if I didn't do research or hear the presentation.

I found very interesting.


This is the real one. The other one I could not delete.
