During this benchmark I learned that although these organisms/creatures are different they also have a lot of similarities that I didn't know about. If I had to change one thing about my process during the benchmark I would have prepared ahead for the models because I made it harder on myself.

During this project I have learned several things about the organisms on Earth. I have learned they are very alike all over their bodies. Something I noticed that was very similar was  the bones in the ears. The skeleton structure I noticed was one bone, two bones, a lot of bones, then toes/fingers. I wonder was there ever any half human/animal in the past.

This was our final product for the comparative anatomy project. The organ system we were assigned was the skeleton system which is basically looking at the bones in a organisms body. We studied how our organism body/bone structure affected the way it functioned. I learned the in-depths of a worm, frog, green monkey, and a human. It was really cool to learn this. I also learned how all these organism evolved. Overall, I enjoyed this project and wouldn't change a thing!

For the Q3 project, me and my group were in charge of describing and presenting how the brain and nervous system is affected by the effects of alcoholism and substance abuse, as well as treatments and reasons for why the victims end up developing addictions to certain substances. While working on this project I learned a lot from how addictions can develop from just about anything and also how alcoholism literally drunks your brain with alcoholic fluids. I also had the amazing chance of interviewing amazing individuals such as Dr. Hector Colon-Rivera, and Elvis Rosado. Two people involved in treating people who have some sort of substance abuse and also help in teaching other people of the consequences and what it could really do to the body in the Philadelphia area.
