Day 7

Day 7: Today was pure science. We started the day at our normal time (7:30), then everyone got to work. We had to continue our projects and check our escovopsis. It was a long day of work. Projects came together, fell apart, and then came together again. Some teams ended up working late into the night and had to quit when Dr. Pinto, Adrian, and Ibrahim kicked them out at 11:00. But--if you have to work really hard, this is a beautiful place to do it!

          Christian's team worked on determining how sound affects the ants.











Lucas's team tested how different forms of grapefruits repel ants.


Drew and his team analyzed the temperature of the vents in the Atta columbica colonies close to the cabins.














Luke, obviously working hard here, worked on how leaf-cutter ants handle standing water and whether or not it could be used as a deterrent.
    

Clara and her team studied the effects of light on the ants. 
Anna's team analyzed fast-growing bacteria on both sheep and non-sheep ants.

Day 10

Day 10: Today was an easy, lazy day. We woke up and while waiting for breakfast we played many card games such as Mafia and several hand slapping games. At 1:00 we left for the beach. as soon as we arived we sprinted for the water. We played marco polo and rode across the waves on a boogie board. At around 5:00 we had dinner it was barbque with a Costa Rican twist. We had pork, beef, sausage, and grilled pinapple. We then watched the sunset. It was beautiful. We said goodbye to the beach and to Costa Rica. For one last day of fun in the sun. We'll miss you Coasta Rica! Christian Wheeler

Day 4

Day four was the first all-science day of the trip. The day began at 7:30am with the usual rice, beans, eggs, and toast. About an hour later, the excitement began. The tasks for the day included following up on a past experiment, starting a new one, and breaking open our Science Activities book.             After receiving a preview of the day from Dr. Pinto, we counted the bacteria colonies on the plates from the experiment from the day before. Dr. Pinto showed us how to analyze our data with the Vassar Stats website. After that, all the groups rotated through the lab conducting an experiment about the fungi that the ants tend to. Through the different activities, we learned more about leaf cutter ants, and how to approach our personal research. At noon we had lunch, and at 2 we reconvened to continue our all day science.            In the afternoon we began to brainstorm our scientific ideas for our research and at 3:4...

Day 3

July 28 (day 3) Today was our first day of field science!  We woke up to a wonderful breakfast as usual, but alas, no monkeys were spotted; hopes remain high.   After breakfast, Dr. Pinto explained we would be digging up the Atta colonies for their fungus gardens.  As we went out into the cacao field to find the mounds, it began to rain, so we were forced to wait.  The rain stopped after a few minutes and we continued. My team only found one fungus garden, but there were teams who found up to 3 separate gardens. Then we went back to eat lunch (it was also amazing).  After that, it was finally time for ZIP-LINING!  Because our group is so large, we had to separate into two groups.  I was in the first group, so we set out in the van with our driver, Christian.  The guides there were some of the most funny and knowledgeable guys we've met. We came back and were treated to a delicious ham-dinner.  Then it was back to the classroom.  Dr. Pi...
