Will it ever be possible for humans to swim under water with artificial gills.

I believe that one day somebody will be able to make artificial gills when they can take oxygen, out of the water and flush the carbon dioxide out with the water, just like fish do with their gills. Scientists are trying to mock how real gills work. If scientists find a way to make artificial gills, humans will be able to breathe underwater without an oxygen tank.

I think Artificial gills will benefit humans because then divers could go underwater without relying on an oxygen tank. It will also help us learn more about the ocean because, we will have more time to explore. Artificial gills are lighter then oxygen tank, so it will make it easier to move and swim in the water.

First they got a hamster to use artificial gills and then a dog, after that the scientists got a human to swim underwater with artificial gills for 30 mins, if they can find a way to make the artificial gills last endlessly by making a gill that gives enough oxygen for a human, then yes It will be possible for humans to swim under water with artificial gills.

What questions did you need to research in order to research your topic?

I first needed research will artificial gills be possible. Then I researched how artificial gills work and then how fish gills work so I could write about what we need to do to make artificial gills work.

What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?

I used Gale Engage Learning for these two websites.

I used youtube to find this video, and a picture because pexels and creative commons didn’t have pictures of artificial gills.

Youtube video I used for my project

I got the picture from this video

I also used safari for one more website I had for the Wonder project.

What was the process you used to investigate the topic?

I first thought of a meaningful question, Then I went on gale engage learning and safari to find my websites. And then used Ms. Brandsma’s research template she gave us, to organize my website I used and my information I wrote down from the websites.  After I turned the information into paragarphs.

How did you verify and cite the information you found?

I got my cites at the bottem of Gage Engage Learning. I also went to a citation machine for the website I got from safari.

How did the process of this challenge go? What could you hve done better?

The process of this challenge went pretty well, I just wish there was more information on my question. I think I could of done better on my introduction paragraph by explaining why I picked this question.
