The sucking loach or the algae eater is the cleaner of lakes, pond and
fish tanks. They are essential to the cleanliness of areas with high
algae content. These fish can grow from six inches to eleven inches,
but are restricted in the size of the fish tank. They grow to their
maximum size if a larger area, an example of this would be a lake. The
other item for my case study is water, which is the life force for us as
humans. Water is the chemical substance to all know form of life as we
know it. We can’t function with H20 it is the essential to overall
existence. The Algae eater and water work hand and hand to help us.
What I observe is that these two items compliment each other, the fish
needs water to help incubate the algae, and the water needs the fish to
keep it clean. There are good algae and there are bad algae, the bad is
not desirable to the fish to eat. The experiment is to put, an algae
eater in a tank that has develop a lot of algae, and see how long it
will take it to get clean. The test will be how big the fish gets in a
one month time, to fix the issue. I think what will happen is that we
won’t see a tremendous change, but a little. I also think that the
fish will be content but grow rapidly, although I won’t be able to
gage the speed of its growth. In time and over time I think it will have
a good result I would just need to allocate more time. Maybe I should
have made the experiment longer, perhaps three months.

Choose two organisms that interact with each other, such as bees and flowers, or consider the effect of any environmental factor on an organism, such as light, sound, air quality, food preference, or nutrient quantity or quality.
For this assignment, choose two organisms that interact with each other, such as bees and flowers, or consider the effect of any environmental factor on an organism, such as light, sound, air quality, food preference, or nutrient quantity or quality .
Now form a simple hypothesis about this interaction. Include the observation that led you to a hypothesis . Use the scientific method and your imagination to design an experiment that you might do to test this hypothesis. Be sure to include controls, and describe the variables that would remain constant and the one that you want to test. (Remember, you can only test one variable at a time.) Describe the type of data you would collect, and how you would evaluate it. What are your expected results (predictions)? State what your conclusion would be depending on those results. Would these results lead you to accept or reject your hypothesis?
Your format should then look like this:
Introduction: Describe your observation. Include any background information you may have found.
Hypothesis: Write a statement that describes your explanation for the observation.
Methods: Describe the experiment, variables to be held constant, variable to be tested, and controls.
Predictions: What do you predict as outcomes (results) of this experiment?
Conclusions: Do you accept or reject or accept hypothesis? Explain why.
Explanation of the use of the scientific method in science. The example of an algae eater and its environment is used.
