A Bit About Me:
My name
is Ivy Gentry. Ever since I was little, I had a dream of being in the science
field working with the sea turtle and any other sea life. My passion grew so
much more the second I got told that we were moving to Florida from a small
town in Tennessee. I knew I had more of a chance in following through with the
dream since we would basically have the ocean in my backyard. I have been so
excited to do my research project all semester long! It has had its challenges;
however, it has been fun, and I cannot wait to see what else Marine Science
leads me.

My Research Proposal:
About my Research Proposal:
Within
my research, I wanted to find out how much of the sand’s temperature affects the
gender of the sea turtle hatchlings. The sand is the biggest factor in the
selection of gender; however, I do believe that there are other factors to the
selection. However, in my proposal, I wanted to focus on just the sand temperature, not the other factors. After conducting the research, we placed six probes
into the sand at the same depth to get multiple different readings. My main
goal with this research is to answer the question that I have had for years on
end. The sand is the main effect, but my next research proposal will be to see
what other elements affect the sand temperature for the turtles, such as
runoff from rain, sprinklers, and other influencers.
