When I did my presentation some of the positive outcomes were that I gave information about my body system. Which was the integumentary system. I gave information about the 3 major skin cells/layers (ex; epidermis, dermis) And I also gave off the statistics of how many animals are used each year. And for a final positive outcome I learned that lots of the main makeup brands out there test on animals. And even though I don’t support the thought of doing that to animals, I still kind of support it in a way because I’m wearing there makeup products. I also learned the diffrent kinds of testing animals go through when scientists test animals with cosmetics. It's pretty brtutal.
For the presentations there were 3 options you could pick from: Webpage, CD case + cover, Magazine. I think everyone learned different things with technology. Since we all worked on different projects. I personally learned how to make a webpage. It’s not as easy as I thought. It’s a little complicated and confusing. I learned how to insert web ad’s onto a website. I didn’t add web ad’s on my site, but I learned how. I figured out how to make different pages, and get text boxes. One thing I learned how to do, that wasn’t related to my project ( it was someone else’s…) but I learned what you can do with a podcast. It was pretty cool. You can have effects & change your voice and add in cool sounds.

Final Posting.
So this is my final posting..before I do my presentation! I’m almost done my website. I have about one or two more pages to do on it,and then I’m done. Building a website is harder then you think. But I’m still learning a lot on my topic, so I have a fair amount of information!
I’ve learned that just about all household cleaning products and makeup brands animal test. There is such few brands that don’t animal test. It’s quite sad. And although we may dislike the thought of animal testing, we still use the products that animal test. I do. All of my makeup is tested on animals first :( -- But I still don’t like the thought of animal testing.
Did you know that it costs the USA 163 billion dollars annually to do animal tests?
What is your opinion on animal testing? Are you for it, or against it?

2nd posting
Today in science I started my 2nd day of working on my presentation. I’m still trying to find out more research info. As I was researching today I found out some statistics on animal testing ex: Approximately 17-22 million animals are used in research each year. That’s a lot of animals used to be testing on. And most of them are Mice and Rats….. there’s a very small portion of dogs and cats that are used. I think it’s about 1.5 percent on dogs and cats being testing. Then for mice & rats it’s about 85-90%.
For lots of my research I usually go to www.peta.org ..so that’s where you can find more information on statistics..etc… if you’re interested :] ~

Animal Testing

For my topic I decided to research the integumentary system. And my topic was Animal Testing.
Did you know Animals have been used in testing for over 2,000 years?
Over the last few years animal testing has dropped because of the pressure from Animal Right Activists. However most makeup brands/companies still animal test. Lots of brands that animal test are sold at Wal-Mart (ex; Cover Girl). There are so few makeup brands that don’t support animal testing. Some of those brands are: Avon Cosmetics, Aveda, Clinique Makeup and Estee. What most people probably don’t realize is the fact that every year, cosmetics companies kill millions of animals to test their products. And the animals they test range everywhere from mice - dogs. It’s terrible & as some people say ‘inhumane’.
Even though some cosmetics are labelled “cruelty free” or “not tested on animals” it does not mean that the product in them was not tested on animals…
The Company can claim that the products themselves weren’t tested on animals, when another company actually used animals to test the ingredients used in the product.
