You should get quite a few good responses, there are lots of people here always happy to help!
Mind giving us some more details on this project? I would have loved to actually be assigned something on bearded dragons when I was in school! I totally brought mine in with me for Environmental Science when we were doing Biomes (I got Desert, hehe!)
siriatuy":2hruk5mu said:Hello Ria! I love this assignment. Beardies are super interesting. My science classes have learned so many things from my guy ? Reaction pathways, metabolism, light wavelengths, anatomy, graphing...
Anyway, as you do your research, keep in mind you're going to get a skewed sample, as you're probably only going to get responses from people whose beardies are in good condition. To balance that, I might suggest you look through the ER section, and maybe piece together these answers using their responses and pictures. Just don't actually ask them, since they probably have more pressing issues in mind.
