1. Develop a hypothesis about how to change the outcome, and then write a procedure for an experiment that would test the hypothesis.
  2. What would happen if you dipped the "flamingo foot" in fresh water periodically? Do you see any connections to the need for fresh water at Lake Natron?
  3. What other life forms would struggle to survive in an environment where salinity was so high that the dissolved salts crystallized?
  4. Develop a hypothesis about which animals would find these conditions difficult to survive under, then research to see if any animals of that type live in alkaline lakes like this.
