The Dexter Experiment
- 1. THE DEXTER EXPERIMENT by; shaylyn fetterman
- 2. Hello there, my name is Dexter! I was put into this classroom along with many of my brothers and sisters. We have been separated and watched throughout the duration of us being able to hatch. Some of the other fish died. Whew! Im so glad I didnt! Well, Im going to tell you about some of the experiences I have had along the way.
- 3. Day one Stage 18, 26 hours I thought it was going to be all quite and stu鍖 the 鍖rst day, but nope. I get shot out of a dropper onto a keyboard. I felt an adrenaline rush, it was actually kind of fun. Even though I wont admit it to anyone else.
- 4. Day two Stage 23, 46 hours Luckily I was still alive after my tumble yesterday. Today, My heartbeat started to show up, Shaylyn was very excited about that. My heartbeat pulsed about 52 times per minute.
- 5. Day three Stage 28, 74 hours My blood was visible by now, it was a very light pinkish orange color. I could feel myself getting bigger and the space inside the egg was getting a bit cramped, it was very uncomfortable.
- 6. Day four Stage 30, 102 hours My heartbeat was about 137 beats per minute today. Today my pectoral 鍖n showed up and my blood is much more visible. I had to keep moving around to stay happy in the egg. Im so sick of being in there.
- 7. Day 鍖ve Stage 32, 128 hours My spleen and urinary bladder were now visible. Stomites became clearer to see. My eyes were shaping a little more than they were the previous day.
- 8. Day six Stage 35, 200 hours I thrash around so much, Shaylyn and Jenna probably think that there is something wrong with me. All of my organs are fully formed inside of me, so I should hatch anytime.
- 9. Day seven Stage 36, 264 hours I FINALLY HATCHED! I can now swim freely and pleasantly in my little dish. I was so excited to stretch out and test the waters.
- 10. Survival ; Dexter didnt really need to much to survive while he was in the petri dish, we just had to make sure he had his water changed everyday. I started out with a rough start, but after the 鍖rst day, Shaylyn and Jenna took very good care of me. Im happy to still be alive. -Dexter. :)
