Parts of a Amoeba

Locomotion - Amoeba

Amoebas move changing their body from liquid to a solid in the form of pseudopods. When they want to move there pseudopods become liquid form. Then they move it in the direction of travel. After their pseudopod gets were they want it they change it into the solid form, and their body into a liquid let it catch up.

Feeding and Diet - Amoeba

Amoebas feed by moving over to their prey and then wrapping their pseudopods around it.

An amoebas diet mostly consists of:

Algae, bacteria, plant cells, protozoa and metazoa.

Habitat - Amoeba

Amoebas normally live in stagnant ponds, shallow pools, and moist dirt. They are mostly found at the bottom of the water on or around the mud. I also read about a great method of catching them on a website called Microscopy.

You will need a small jar to catch them in and a microscope to view them. Now to get started put the jar in your pond or shallow pool until it’s just above the mud at the bottom of the water, now slowly tip the jar to let out the air. When you do that it should suck some of the mud up. The amoeba will be in the mud. You may have to do this multiple times before you catch an amoeba.

Reproduction - Amoeba

Amoebas reproduce by a process called binary fission. Which basically means it splits itself into two identical copies.

Fun facts - Amoeba

1. The liquid state of an amoeba is called plasmasol, while the solid state is called plasmagel.

2. When an amoeba is startled it immediately transforms into a star shape.

3. Certain species of amoeba can produce a shell called a test that they can stay in until conditions get better.

4. Sometimes amoebas will come together to form a big blob called slime mold.

5. A species of amoeba called pelomyxa palustris can grow up to 5 million.

Flounder hunting

This morning around 8.30, 12 students from Pt England school went down to Wai o Taiki bay to fish for baby flounders. Around 9am the entire school walked down to Wai o Taiki bay to sing some waiatas and say a pray. The waiata that we sang was " Whakataka te hau" This song is about sea life and things about land and sea.

The reason why we are catching baby flounders instead of bigger ones is cause, we are going to put the baby flownders into our school tank and look after it properly, we are going to feed it and take good care of it so when they grow bigger we can give it back to the awa.

So today we catched 20 baby flounders and kauri flat school catched 4 baby flounders, Here are some pictures of baby flounders and big flounders.  Did you know that flounders can be found in different types for example, there can be baby flounders, big flounders and even cooked flounders.

 Here is a photo of a baby flounder.
  These are the big flounders.
  This is the cooked flounder that you can enjoy for dinner or breakfast.
