Jane Morris Goodall has accomplished so many things since she stepped foot in Tanzania in 1960. Jane Morris Goodall studied chimpanzees in the wild for just about 55 years. At first, success was not an option. When Jane Goodall started to try to study the chimpanzees of the park, they ran away and hid from her. They were not used to humans being so close to them. Jane Goodall once noted that she could not get within 500ft of their eating area without them abandoning ship. After months of hard work and patterns of showing up, the chimpanzees finally started to get used to her. During her life, Jane Morris Goodall went to many private schools at a young age, before being advised to go to a public college. Jane went to college and earned her Ph. D. at Cambridge University. She started out working as a secretary at Oxford University and also worked for a London based documentary film company. During and after her work in the field, she did visiting professorships in zoology at the University of Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. She also did a visiting professorship in psychiatry at Stanford University. Ever since her time in the field, many things have been named after her. Things like the Jane Goodall Environmental Middle School and the Jane Goodall hiking trail in Ontario, Canada. Jane Goodall has done amazing work, she was the first to discover that chimpanzees eat meat and use/make stone tools. Up until this point in time, we thought that this was a human characteristic. Jane Goodall has changed the way that people look at chimpanzees and think about evolution, she proved that we are not much different than chimpanzees, our closest animal relative.

SP8: Communicating Information
I communicated information about how Jane Goodall is a very important scientist when I talked about Jane Goodall on video about how she was and still is important to the scientist community. I also communicated what she accomplished and why that is important through my scientist wanted poster. This showed how she was important and what she did during her time in and out of the field.

Cross-Cutting Concept: Stability And Change
At the end and beginning of the school years, I tend to get more stressed out about things. This comes a lot from change. In the middle of the school year, everything seems to be more stable, you are used to your class, teachers and the work that you have to do. Whereas, at the beginning and the and of the school year, there is a lot of change. Change in teachers, classes, classmates. This also seems to throw off all of the patterns that you have established. There are more projects and things you have to do that come in a big load. Then, at the beginning of the year, there is a lot more paperwork that you have to bring home. Overall, all the things that you are used to, seem to get messed up. This becomes more stable in the middle of the year, when there is less paperwork and the projects and time between each project thins out so there is less work for the amount of time. You get a more stable ratio of work to time in the middle of the year, which is the things that I think makes the middle of the year more stable then the beginning and end.
