How would you describe the health of the aquatic ecosystems from the article and video?
The health of the aquatic ecosystems from the article and video were clean and healthy. Things are still growing and producing which means species are still going to be around for awhile. If one species dies that could affect the rest and that could affect the health in the ecosystem.
What is currently being done in these aquatic ecosystems?
Biologists are going under to find new things to learn about. They want to protect it and make sure nothing is happening for it to go away.
What is your personal connection to these ecosystems?
My personal connection to these ecosystems is actually going under and finding things out under the water. I love going under the ocean and seeing things that are so unasual and you don't see in everyday life on land. That stuff always interests me and whenever I see trash floating in the ocean I'll pick it up and throw it away so that habitat is good for the organisms that live there. It's kind of like a smaller version of what they're doing.
What role do you feel that humans play in the biosphere?
I feel the humans tear down the biosphere. We change biomes by taking away habitats and building new things. But we can make good changes too. We clean things up and sometimes we do build habitats for animals that can't be torn down.
Do you feel like overall people understand their impact on the biosphere or that they don't care? Explain.
I don't think everyone cares about the impact on the biosphere. If people did then the biospheres wouldn't be torn down by people. Other people do care though because they build new places.

Power Balance Bands
1. What are your thoughts on the effectiveness of the Power Balance Bands? What evidence did you find to support this opinion?
My thoughts are that these don't really work. The scientists kept saying that when the person knew who had the bracelet on that it would work, but when they didn't know it never worked.
2. Make your own hypothesis on the effectiveness of the bands and describe how you would test your hypothesis (in detail).
The power bands do not make you stronger, more flexible, and balanced.
I would test my hypothesis by getting 3 or 5 of my friends and not have them wear the bracelet. I would try all the tests and write down my observations. Then I would close my eyes and only have one of my friends wearing the bracelet. I would test all of my friends with my eyes closed and try to see who has the bracelet on. I would see if i was right and maybe try it one more time just to see if I get the same outcome.
3. Why is it necessary to look at all sides of the issue before forming a hypothesis or setting up an investigation?
All that information could help you come up with a hypothesis. You don't want to start an investigation if you don't have all the information because then you could miss something and your answer or outcome would be wrong.
